Canton Fabbed Valve Cover Install ?'s

Re: Canton Fabbed Valve Cover Install ?'s
Well I finally got everything back together today and started it up for the first time and to my dismay I hear a loud knocking from my passenger side valve cover. I'm pretty sure it's one of the rockers contacting the cover but I'm not sure which one. I guess I'll have to wrestle that bastard off and see if there's any marks. Even if I can see where it's hitting I'm not sure what I can do about it. The walls of the covers are not that thick.

On the motor we just used them on, we had to clearance the area that is stepped in for the alternator. It was just clipping the c-clip of the front most rocker arm.

Note that this is with the Pro Mag rockers which are a fairly wide body.

Very minimal clearancing on the step corner of the step. It was barely touching the c-clip on the the front rocker.

We had no issues with the alternator fitting.
