how to clearance valve covers?

So I cut out some of the metal baffles or whatever they are, with a dremel....but the valve covers still won't fit on with the Pro Magnums.

Is there any easy tool / trick to doing this?

I also used a dremel tool (with a cutoff disk).......I trimmed everything close to "even" with the top of the inside of the valve cover......then the pro-mag's cleared no problem.......it does take a little time

Do a search on this. There are a couple of excellent "how-to" threads with pictures. I did mine using this information for my 1.6 Pro Mags. No cutting or grinding required, just bent the interfering valve cover internal bracing and breather baffle with pliers.
