Hey guys,
About wrapping up putting my car back together after getting the heads ported. They were also milled down a bit to bump compression. I ran into a small issue, where when trying to reinstall the intake manifold, it seems to be just barely hitting the top of the thermostat housing. Its very slight, but you can just tell and have difficulty getting the front bolts started. So I lifted the intake back up and pulled the thermostat housing. My plan was to machine a small amount off the bottom of the housing (maybe .050"?), it looks like you could stand to lose a bit of material and not mess up the thermostat gasket surface. Was just curious if others have ran into this as well, and if so what the usual fix was? Thanks
