Rick,

I see you beat me to the part number. I had e-mailed it to John and you are correct about the valve covers having to be flat. I do know one person who took two of those gaskets and glued them together to get more clearance and he has never had a drop of oil come out. I have had really good luck as I have never had a drop leak through them and mine have been on since 1997. I have the trick flow aluminum heads and I think they may have helped me a little as my rollers just barely touched the baffel with regular gaskets. Also Cobra Restorers used to have 1/2 inch spacers but I don't know if they still carry them. I had a set of the 1 inch ones around here somewhere that I never used and if I can find them and anyone wants them they are welcom to them. I don't have a 7500 RPM motor either and that may helpme as mine rarely sees above 6400. How is the car coming along ?

Ron
