Does anyone do this? I have a 360 with eddy heads and eddy valve covers and the covers hit the RPM intake at the runners. Either I grind the intake or double up the gaskets. any input would help

Yes I'd(carefully) glue 2 together & give it a shot. If it doesn't leak you're up & running today.
Yeah what he said , glue the gaskets togeather and valve cover let sit with weight on the cover for a few mins then install .c

I put MP aluminum covers on my 318 with a Performer intake. I just ground the areas that rubbed with a Dremel, and all is well... You can't even tell once it's all assembled. I personally wouldn't double the gaskets, but if it works...
