i ran into a similar issue with a Z6 (which is similar to a Y8) valve cover on a Y7. i didn't do much to figure out why, but i think it's got to do with the clearance between the baffle and the rockers. since the Y7 has aluminum rockers, they are a bit larger and require more clearance. many folks remove the baffle with no consequence, so that may be the fix.

so ur saying that grinding the riffits off the baffle on the top of the inside of the valve cover and remove to that baffle should give me enough clearance??
