rocker arm clearancing to stock valve covers

just wanted to throw some high resolution pictures up showing what I had to cut to clearance the stock valve covers for my comp pro mag rockers. I don't know if there is any difference in clearancing the valve covers for other rockers or not, I would imagine not much. anyways since I searched and only came across one tiny pic this should be nice for anyone looking for good pictures in the future.

(cz28 scales the pictures down some, originals are like 2000 pixels wide)

You could have just bent the bottom part 90 degrees instead of cutting the bracing.

Some told me I had to cut it ALL out and that's what I did. Now I have leaky valve covers.

the valve cover bolts arent directly in the center, the wider side had to be cut. I think it was the intake side.

I like cutting and grinding stuff though. you should see my grinding on my intake to fit the 58mm throttle body.

makes sense, thanks again. I like to "make" my own stuff as well, just made an A/C delete panel last night for half the price it would take to buy one.
