What brand do you have? Also you shouldn't have to set the lash. Put each cyl on tdc, tighten untill zero lash plus 1/2 to one complete turn.

I'm just Comp Cams 1.6 Pro Mag RR on my car with stock covers. I just bent the little "L" shaped brackets straight and they fit on fine.

fcat8187 - what valvecovers are you trying to use? Have you looked inside them to see what is hitting? Some valvecovers have drip guides that could be trimmed, or an oil-filler-hole baffle that can be trimmed or removed.

I have LT4 resin valvecovers on my 383 and they fit the Comp Cams hi-tech 1.6 rockers perfectly.
