GM crossram intake-valve cover interference

[plumL78]

Daren I agree that you can do it the way you say. I just don't know why anybody would want to do all that work when you don't need to. I just don't understand that. No I don't adjust the valves while the motor is running but I do adjust them hot. As for the orig problem that Eric asked about I guess he has to either cut some covers or take the intake back off and use a single carb or bolt it together like you do. I'm guessing that Eric's customer isn't a hands on guy so when the valves need adjusting or it needs valve cover gaskets or what ever he will have to go back to Eric and have it taken apart. I guess none of this matters because it more than likely wont get driven anyway
