I installed the SLP double roller timing set and ported SLP oil pump for a customer of mine, and I did have clearance issues. I used the enclosed spacers because without them the chain would have come alarmingly close to rubbing against the inner left portion of the pump, I tried it without them 1st as a mock up. And if clearance wasn't going to be an issue, than why would the manufacturer enclose spacers?
I spent about an hour and a half, with a die grinder and sanding disk, clearancing the inside of cover till it fit right. If others didn't have the issue I envy you. Next time I will go with LS2 chain.

1. high RPM's
2. aggressive cam lobe ramp rate
3. high spring pressures

You didn't need the spacers. The instructions are clear and accurate. Like you, I thought I was smarter than SLP and tried the spacers. It didn't take long for me to decide they knew what they were doing and toss them. I have never had a single issue without them...and have never heard of anyone who did once they bolted it up and ran it.
