Default Need Help With LS2 Front Cover Conversion

Trying to do the LS2 front cover conversion on a '10 LY6. The block has a 24x crank (long story on that) and a N-Motion double roller timing set with a 1x reluctor cam gear. The problem is that the front cover is hitting the chain at about 3 o'clock on the cam gear. I put some grease on the chain and know exactly where it is touching. I think I can fix it by clearancing the cover, although that might cut into the threaded hole for the cam sensor bolt but I think that can be sealed.

Looking to see if anyone else has had this problem or heard of anyone who did. Feedback welcomed. I know the easy answer is to use a single roller, but I am looking to squeeze as much HP as I can without going over the edge.

Grind slowly and check recheck. If you break into the bolt hole, you can seal it up with thread sealer on the bolt.
