hi all,

Im nearly complete on a complete motor restoration (with some  
upgrades) to a 63 stage II set up.
The cam will have approx 580 lift.
I notice the rockers are tapping the inside baffle of the valve covers 
(standard 4 bolt mw valve covers).  im a bit surprised at there being  
a clearance problem with these valve covers.  the cam isnt that  
radical, also yes , indy shafts and mp roller rockers.

have anyone else experienced this?  if so what was your work around.   
i can hack up the actual baffle but there must be a more elegant  
solution.

does anyone know if someone makes a"stand off" shim about a quarter  
inch in thickness which would mount at the head casting along with a  
pair of gaskets just to raise the height of the valve cover?  just a  
thought.

thanks
