ARP studs and valve covers

I am almost done putting these pain in the Edit in. Ive cut 2 little notches the the front of the valve cover. Do I need to modify the back or will it fit?

Well they tapped the cover in front just a bit. I know I put the right ones in the right places as well.

The 24v motors should not have a valve cover issue using the ARP studs..... Did you bottum tap all of the holes in the block? Are these ARP studs or A1?

No, they are arp's and Im positive they are all the way down. Well I found out the back fits fine. This seems sort of weird. I need to check some things.
