Default Valve Cover Question

I dont have my car here to check heights clearances etc but I have a D1 on a forged ls2 and was wanting it to look a lil better under the hood and was checking out the polished tall valve covers and my question or questions are will they clear the aftermarket fuel rails and also since I have a breather in my stock valve cover will it work on the aftermarket polished tall covers or will I have to modify things for these to work? If so what ?

Rick

Rick, it will work all that I have seen the breather will work same type of screw on it. THE PROBLEM IS ALMOST EVER TALL VALVE COVER OUT ON THE MARKET WILL NOT FIT UP AT THE ALTENATOR. If the V/cover on that side dont have a small notch cut out of it, it will not fit with the stock altentor bracket on the c5....Robert
