Valve Cover Clearances

I've seen worse, sometimes, well, most times the OP does not post the resolution, they come here looking remedies and solutions mostly from a Google fu search, if lucky the member is still here and can answer, sadly mostly one hit wonders that found they left a wire off or used the wrong part and don't want to admit their problem was self inflicted.

Here’s what hit. The boss along the center line was contacting. Like said, only 2 actually hit but I took my grinder and took down more than needed just to be sure. After grinding, need to really clean the shavings out.




With a 3/8” intake spacer, here’s my clearance.
If i slotted the throttle bracket, and eliminated the PCV connection under the plenum, probably could have gotten away with no spacer.
