Ya, but first I wanted to try and get the best fitting and thickest valve cover gaskets possible. I am looking at Mopar Performance gaskets. I think they are 3/16" thick. I am waiting on replies from anyone using these thick gaskets. They say they are cork impregnated rubber with a steel gasket running thru the center. Maybe with these I will solve the clearance issues rather than cutting into the valve covers. I was even thinking about adding a second gasket to the Mopar gaskets by gluing them together with a rubber cement?
