Default stock valve covers with shimmed UL YT's
I need your experience to find out before hand if I'm going to hit the stock valve covers with 1.7 ultralite YT's shimmed to .095" with .365" lobe lift. I won't really know till I run the engine with the lifters pumped up and I'd rather know now if at all possible.

Thanks

Mine are shimmed 0.125" and I needed to clearance the valve covers. I confirmed with some blobs of clay that there wasn't enough clearance.
