GM crossram intake-valve cover interference

[DarrenX33]

Whoa whoa, put on the brakes….

You should have that machined area on the repop manifold. Having a crossram is a maintenance nightmare. The manifold and valve covers (namely the drivers side as I recall) have to be put on at the same time. No cutting needed. However, like I said when you need to adjust your rockers its a little more work than just removing the valve covers.

Your intake gaskets too thick?
