Need Valve covers that will clear poly locks Ok, so I have an 03 vette, I have poly locks installed and half inch spacers at the moment. That would probably be ok but on the driver side the valve cover and coil bracket is so tight against the alternator bracket that it seems to be pushing the valve cover up enough to start leaking when it get hot.
Anyone know of some good tall valve covers?
Thanks, in advance.

I don't have the poly locks but did have to shim my rockers quite a bit due to the valve stems. I ended up removing the baffles and then grinding down all the bosses to clear. If you know how much clearance you need this may be an option. If you don't need much, Yella Terra makes a thicker gasket that will gain you 5/16" without spacers. Here is my valve cover. I bought these valve covers and the 04 valley cover as take-offs from a crate motor on fleabay. Kept the originals.
