Valve cover issues
Valve cover issues I'm having major issues getting valve covers to fit on the heads I have. The inside webbing of the valve cover does not clear the rocker arms, anyone have this problem and what valve covers should I go with. I have AFR 195cc CNC ported heads on my 396 lt1. My alternator is in its stock location so the passenger side valve cover needs to be notched out. I Would prefer the valve covers to be polished aluminum.
hmmm well as far as another valve cover im not sure with the alt in stock location although i believe i've found a thread about this a while ago when i was looking into rock arm and i believe if you dremel out the intake side of the valve cover webbing it should work, don't hold me to it though just thought i'd give you a response maybe someone else can back me up with that though
I'm assuming you're using the stock covers so I cut the long part of the valve cover like this and they fit perfectly with my rockers. Hope this helps (note that I googled this pic but it's the same thing I did):

Youll need to grind/clearance the back of the alternator google search turned up plenty of info 
Spoke withwith buddy whoof works for jessel, he milled out the webbing and they go on with no issues. I'm still going to go and get the canton covers, will send them out to be polished, anyone know of a good polisher?
