I'm finally getting around to installing my Fast 102 LSXR manifold. Ready to bolt to the engine and I have a fitment problem. The front coolant line on the left head (going to the crossover T) is hitting the manifold. I'm half a bolt hole off from dropping the bolts. The fitting looks to be silver soldered, so I don't want to put too much pressure on it. Need suggestions. Thanks.
Just bend it down and forward a little,whatever it takes to clear manifold.Installed mine many years ago and after bending I have maybe 2 to 3 mm clearance between the line and bottom edge of manifold in that area.Have never had an issue with it.Maybe test fit after bending and don't bend any more than necessary.Thats the 2 to 3mm clearance.The line to the T on mine is near touching the manifold

Thanks irok. I'll try and grip at the base with a separate set of vise grips and bend above that.
