So I have a 17T with a 428 chain, I went to put the sprocket cover on and it wouldn't go, so do I have to attack with a sharp instrument or can it be finagled on?
Any pictures or points to older posts (preferably with pictures, that still are accessible).
As usual thank you in advance.

It seems hit or miss, which I can only assume is due to casting variances. On my last Hawk I had to clearance the sprocket cover by basically grinding back/cutting away the small part of the cover that was contacting the chain.
The issue is only when installing the cover. If you finagle it enough and give it a good thumping it will go on and the chain will not rub at all, but then getting it back off will be a bit of a chore as well.
Hopefully somebody has a picture showing where the contact point is, but if not, you can likely see some witness marks where the chain has been touching the aluminum.
