I removed my aftermarket chrome valve covers from the 455 and the stock covers seem to be a bit short. Even though no oil drippers are installed on the factory covers, the roller rockers are hitting the lower edge of the covers slightly.

Two questions:

Since this is an AC car, the air conditioning to intake braket is pretty close to the passenger side valve cover. Does anyone make a thicker gasket that will cure this problem?

If not, any recommendations on tall covers that look a bit stock? If I use tall covers, I'll cut the AC bracket and modify it to fit. I'd rather use stock height valve covers, but the tick is driving me nuts.
