MAXIMUM Header Gasket Thickness?
I have thought about shaving a little off the valve cover. The tube barely touches with just one gasket. There is about an 1/8 in. separation with two gaskets on. Here are a couple of pictures. I think things will get tighter once I really torque things down and re-torque after a 100 miles or so.

Unfortunately, that may actually exacerbate my problem as you can see in the pics.
I may even be able to buy new gaskets and try to push the vlave cover up just a bit to add some clearance without causing an oil leak :dontknow:
