so the problem is that my header DP touches the oil pan. i have a couple of options here...

1- spend the $50 and have the header modified (cut and weld in a spacer)

2- i can beat the crap out of my oil pan. i figure a couple good swift hits with a hammer and a block of wood will do well. i just need to indent a 2" wide section about 1/4 - 1/2 inch in, right on the corner.


any suggestions on beating the oil pan, or is that just plain bad? ive been hearing both ways.
