hey all ive searched and keep getting mixed review i got a set of crane cams 1.7rr to go with my gt40's and i need to know what o do about the valve covers... Will it clear or not. Some say they have had problems other say they clear. Some say to just grind down the baffle, and i also heard of super gluing gaskets together!!!! What is the real deal?

The rockers will fit you may or may not have to remove the baffle or do the 2 gasket trick

i had to remove and grind down the baffle to make them clear my stock VC's. yeah just use a die grinder. but then oil was getting sucked up into my intake so i sprung for some 95 cobra VC's. they're stamped steel instead of aluminum but the area around the oil fill neck and baffle is raised to clear these exact rocker arms.
