cam gear cover doesnt fit??

Does anyone else have the problem where after installing the Vishnu Cam Gears, the gear cover wouldn't fit anymore?

Well, i should say, it DOES fit, but the gears rub on the plastic.

With the Vishnu cam gears you may need to take a dremel and grind down the nubs protruding out that slightly interfere with the new gears.

The pic shows the cover unmodified, but what you need to grind down.

Right you have to grind off the concentric circles (specifically the two outside circles)

Dremel off some of the inside in the upper corners. It can also rub there. I'd go about 2" on either side of the upper bolt holes.

Finally, use a knife or other sharp object (like MP5's wit, for example) to dislodge the loose, ground down plastic that doesn't fall off. Otherwise it will come loose and gum up on the inside edges of your gears. Not vital but a good practice nonetheless.
