URGENT help required.

Trying to get valve covers to fit.

We have AFR 220 heads with comp cams pro magnum rockers. We also installed studs rather then the head bolts.

Problem is, the valve covers wil not sit down. It almost looks like they are fouling the head studs. They are hitting something We took some stock valve covers and cut away the supporting webbing on one side but still have the problem.

Anyone have experience with this or is this a combination of parts that just will not fit?

Are the head studs going up and touching the top of the valve covers?
put something like grease or something to mark on top of all the studs and high parts and then put some white or light colored masking tape on the top of the inside of the valve covers. Place the valve covers down and see where they contact.

Do you have a digital camera? Take a picture and post it.
