milling valve covers for clearance
I would like to have my valve covers milled on their sidewalls for rocker clearance. I have seen this on a few valve covers for sale on ebay and have missed out...I would purchase them if anyone had a pair they wanted to part with.
I have trick flow twisted wedge heads and the 1.6 roller rockers just touch the sidewalls. With two gaskets they may clear... just by a bit.
I would rather have a set milled in that area for clearance.
Here is a picture of what I am looking to do:

To post a picture you have to put it on the web first. I use cardomain.com for hosting free pictures.
As for clearencing the valve covers, I used a die grinder and a sanding rool to clearence mine for my compcam roller rockers...

You have a C4 ,taller valve covers are readily available at reasonable prices, not like the $560 katech charges for C5 covers or the $150-$250 others charge for spacers.I found these in about 30 seconds http://expressauto.zoovy.com/product...=froogle-S9769
