If it's hitting the valve cover, I'd assume you installed them wrong. Tomei ras will not hit the valve cover on a s13 redtop.

You don't need to cut any part of the valve cover, but you may need to cut the one oil splash shield

I was very wierded out, and felt that it was best to retain that...only a few snips of the dremel required on Greddy and Knockoff RAS setups. Never isntalled a Tomei one so it may be really different.
