 I had that exact problem with my TR3. I ended up removing the chrome =

 Team:
 Had my valve cover rechromed.  Looks great.  Only problem is the extra =
thickness on the oil filler tube from new chrome now will not let me =
slip on my push on oil filler vent cap.  His is an early 4 with similar =
setup to TR3. Any ideas on what to do.  I heard I=E2=80=99d have to take =
valve cover to chrome plater to have hem strip a bit off the surface.  =
Another though was a muffler shop that has a pipe expanding that fits he =
1 1/2 inch diameter opening of the push on cap.  Any help much =
