I have noticed though that the old 216 valve covers have a 90-degree angled flange along one side which would prevent it from fitting easily on the flat flange of the 235 head... what do people do, cut or grind this off? Or does it fit along the edge of the flange on the outside? And do these old 216 covers work on a 261?
