Default 2 piece valve covet

Has anyone done this b4? Just looking to get some input on this b4 I go ahead and do this if there is any insight... Talked to my welder and am gonna order the 2 piece proforms and have him notch the pass side and set it up to fit right... Just sick of the ordeal with pulling stuff apart to check/ adjust the rockers and this way I'll never have to pull them again plus I won't have to worry about the webbing on the inside which I still have to cut more out of to get rid of the little bit of rubbing I have with my after market eBay ones

I do not think Proform makes a center-bolt 2 piece valve cover (correct me if I am wrong). All the ones available from Summit, Jegs, etc. are for perimeter valve covers (unless your heads have provision for perimeter covers).
