Was hoping to get my motor back in this weekend but ran into an issue. Was putting the new headers on and the one primary tube was hitting the ac line and wasn't allowing the header to sit flush with the head. I bent it a little out of the way and the header mounts on the head perfect but now there's like an 1/8" clearance between the header and the ac line. There's not much more room I can get if I keep bending the pipe.
My dad suggested on having a section of the ac line removed and welded back together. But I don't know if that will work.

Any suggestions? Or will it be ok as it sets

I have a pic to post

Wtf. So apparently I can't post a pic

 

Try this

 

i have just enough room to get the end of my finger in between.

 

I'd say you're alright but I don't know as I deleted A/C right off the bat.

 

If you are worried about it make some sort of heat shield. Or use some thermo sleeve.

 

steering side should be closer like touching mine was ,but it fits with like said finger on that side too,though i dont hear wich engine your doing in this thread also did Ac delete for the right reasons though i could put it back in at the bottom left side
