It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

Just look for "tall" sbf valve covers. They are designed to clear roller rockers, and in most cases, stud girdles as well.

i got the ones off Ebay for like 75 bucks and they clear mine with the girdle and all

and if the rails arent flat i'll have them milled square.

Just know tall covers usually mean intake spacers and non stock hood.

Unless you run an elbow

I run stud mounted RR under the stock covers with the baffle removed.

Some people double up their VC gaskets

That's what I'm doing. Stock covers with chopped baffles. The passenger side catch can does great. The driver side just gave me problems due to location of the bung.

I did buy the thick gaskets. I think they are around 3/8 thick.
