Default cam cover

Have a flat cam cover on a 58 motor.Want to replace it with a ribbed cover. I have been told the only way to do this involves splitting the cases to ream and square the pinion bushing. Is there a company that makes a cover with the bushing already done?

The only top quality cam cover manufactured for generator lower ends, that I am aware of, is from S&S.
It has ball-milled slots in it. Should be able to view it at www.sscycle.com.
