Can someone with experience describe the milling tolerances needed to gain clearance on a 914-6 (3.0) with Turbo Valve covers. My jangled understanding is that in order to be able to do a valve tune, one must remove material from the raised fins on the Turbo covers / lower obviously?..

Also, can valve covers withstand the heat involved in powdercoating?
