Valve cover clearance

[Heavyfoot93]

Hello everyone. I have a 93 lx that i put Sve heads on. I was trying to use the stock valve covers but they catch the rocker studs or valve springs on the oil fill baffle on one side. The other side is fine.
I can get different covers but i keep reading that there is a potential issue with clearance for the intake (cobra). The issue can be resolved with an intake spacer. Running stock hood so i def don't want to make the intake higher. Does anyone have experience or advice on this issue?

Lots of people including myself run stock valve covers on aftermarket set-ups.
You need to either modify / bend the baffles or remove them.

A 3/8" intake spacer and a Cobra intake will clear a stock hood. Ran my car for years like this.

I bought these for my engine with new rocker arms: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ctr-65-345
