you have to cut the support metal.

when you pull them off you'll see what i'm talking about.

or, you can buy stock lt4 or vette valve covers...they're the same, and they're composite to reduce noise.

I only had to cut off only one side of the metal crass-braces for the bolt tubes. Intake side as I recall - it's the longer segment. They were interfering at the rocker pivot bearings only.

Many people have been able to fit the Comp Pro-Magnums simply by crimping the center-bolt webs and the edge of the vent baffle on the passenger side with a pliers.
