Small block valve cover clearance??

I just got a pair of these. With my intake (Stealth) ground down a lot the valve cover surface on the heads (Speed Master) is below the runners by 3/16" and I'm not going to grind valve covers enough to get them to fit. These spacer work great, now I just have to deal the the fact that the valve cover thread locations on the bottom are off on my heads too. Isn't engine building fun?!
Just trim the part thats hiting the intake done a few my self no biggi
