Default timing cover hitting oil pump..HELP!

my timing cover is hitting my oil pump and up by the cam sensor. i blackened everything with a sharpie to see where everything was hitting but my question is after i grind some to make it clear is the timing chain going to clear the cam sensor?? i would just get a single roller but i have it installed already and i need to have it all put together this weekend and i won't be able to have one here by then without having to pay 50 dollars for shipping. if i knew that i had to deal with this i would have just got a single roller.
thanks for the help

Sounds like the oil pump is shimmed too much. I have a rollmaster double roller, used the supplied shims and have no issues.

the main problem i had was up by the cam sensor there is an extra piece of metal that comes through the back for the extra bolt for the ls2 cover to hold the cam sensor bracket on so i just grinded it off and welded the back of the hole and shortened the screw.
