Default valve cover help

I was wondering if anyone is using valve covers similar to these here. I am using CMI E-tops. Any clearance issues?

Thanks,
John

Clearance might be with the bolts to start.
Can you get the long bolts out of the bottom holes with those without hitting the exhaust?

I "think" they were Hardin.. Got them back in 05.. Just had them coated this winter.. I know the oil cooler and Oil filter and oil pain were Hardin.. Stands to reason the covers would be also..

Those ones in the pictures are the kind I run also. Their nice and solid die cast aluminum. Most places have them,Hardin-CP-Teague-Rex. I believe Rex had the best price. Breather stacks you buy seperately.

I just bought a set of the Hardin valve covers has well. You get a lot of room under the cover yet they'll clear the manifolds. I should have mine tue or wed if you want to check them out.
