valve cover modifications
Since the search option is DOA does anybody have pictures of drip tab removal for roller rockers? I remember seeing some a couple months ago, but can't remember who posted them. TIA

I ground mine down by about 2/3 with a Dremel and have no clearance problems with my bulky, aluminum, full rollers.

Dremel as mentioned above. Cut a little slit in the tabs then break them off with pliers. Don't just tryt o rip them out with pliers. I've heard stories that this can break the vavle cover leaving you with a hole in it.
