Small block valve cover clearance??

I'm guessing you had a rough day, Rusty. You're usually not so angry. I agree that today's snowflakes think they're entitled to everything by simply holding their hand out. You and I are older and know better, but we have to get some younger members on board, or our cars will be gone in a generation. Your advice is almost always good, with a touch of smartass, which us old guys understand, but I hate to see you blow a gasket over something trivial. Come on over, we'll have a beer and talk. Paul.

I would gladly buy that round.
Simply asked for users on here that had experience with this as it's my first time dealing with a lot of things on the car - like the spacers for the valve covers.
I've had the car since I was 15 (now 53) I'm completely re-doing it - and want to do it correctly.
The help and advice on here is priceless, much appreciated.
Oh and Rusty - after playing hockey my whole life, 2 hip replacements, to tie my shoes isn't the easiest, but I deal with it, just like dealing with snowflakes.
