You might want to post this @ Y-Blocksforever.com as someone there has had to go through it.

Mike does have a good suggestion but why would you have to do it?

Here are the hardware specs -
They are Genuine Ford valve covers.
At first I thought that the studs were the short ones and bought the longer ones ,not knowing just which ones I had.
I bought the valve cover gaskets from a Thunderbird jobber,so I am sure I have the correct gasket.
The rubber insert that fits under the chrome washer is not that thick,yet it is even with the top of the stud without the chrome washer and acorn nut.

Mike's idea is looking like a clever fix, if I cannot solve the issue.
