I just went to put on my valve covers(stock) and found out that they arent fitting. They seem to be good everywhere except above the number one cylinder where the oil fill tube is.<br />At this spot there is an oil shield... if it were to come off, i think that everything would be ok.<br />Anyone ever had this happen?
