    I responded to your previous post on what I did, with pictures, hope it helps. I did this several years ago and haven't had any issues.

    Re: Has anybody made their own Baffles for the Cobra valve covers?

    I did a mod to my valve covers that were getting hit by my roller rockers. I pulled out the rivet/screws that held the baffles on and removed some material on the boss that the screws went into to gain some clearance.  I reinstalled the baffles and no noise. I also fabbed up a thin stainless steel baffle that I  installed under the PCV valve so that the valve wasn't sucking oil mist all the time. Needless to say, my oil consumption went way down then. Sorry, but I don't have any pictures, but the fasteners I installed were the original "rivets" (basically a very coarse threaded nail that you drive into place). My installation was similar to BobE's but I didn't safety wire my fasteners in place.
