If you do a search, you will find many threads with the same question and how you need to make some slight changes to the interior webbing of the stock valve cover.

Yep... Just make sure the braces aren't touching the the rockers after you get done bending. They tend to distort a bit after being bent.
I always prefer this method over just cutting them. I've cut the braces out on two sets of covers before and had nothing but leakage problems.
