Team,
Successfully ground the top inch of the valve cover tube so the cap goes bac=

 Any ideas on what to do.  I heard I=E2=80=99d have to take valve cover to c=
hrome plater to have hem strip a bit off the surface.  Another though was a m=
uffler shop that has a pipe expanding that fits he 1 1/2 inch diameter openi=
