Look at your engine now and visualize taller valve covers on it. You should be able to tell if taller ones would hit the alternator.

He mentioned the alternator as a possible interference point. Is the alternator even close to the valve cover on an 02 WS6?

Yes and yes. It was in poor taste and certainly not called for in this context.

Let's get this back on track and keep any further responses civil going forward.

Thanks,

Quite so, and I apologize. I was too rough. I will help by advising the OP to look at the engine in his car to see where the alternator is along with anything else that actually is in the way of tall valve covers. OP, I ask your forgiveness.
BTW, had you told us in the first post that you were working far from home, instead of editing it into a later post would have avoided the misunderstanding that occurred here.
