    Thank you Mike & Hombre.... Hombre, Beautiful! I have a set on there now from Hot Heads, I wanted to get a little less of the custom look. you are a true craftsman! It would take me a 100 years to get that down!
    Mike, the lift on my cam is .597 intake & .578 exhaust {total lift}.... With this lift do you think the rockers would clear with 2 gaskets??? THANKS again! Bill

    Thanks Guys, I did make a die for dimpling those covers. Was easy to make too, simple used my grinder to carve the profile in some billet aluminum, and then a buffing wheel to get it smooth. Used a torch to heat the cover just in the spot I wanted to move the metal in, and used an arbor press to do the hard work. I am also pleased with the way they came out.
