Re: valve cover baffles
You will need baffles to keep the oil from splashing out. The covers should fit with baffles in place. I would suggest getting different covers if you cannot make them work.

Re: valve cover baffles
have you tried turning the covers around to see if the biffles clear?
you need them for good operation and a clean motor// as a stopgap companies like mr gasket has grommets with builtin biffles ,better than nothing

Re: valve cover baffles
You could make your own that are more low-profile. What valve covers and baffles do you have?
