Default C6Z manifold hitting bellhousing

The driver's side manifold is resting against the bellhousing. If I get the car real hot, do you think it can be pryed slightly? I just need it to move about a millimeter.

why not take an angle grinder and clear it a bit? The bell housing and the manifold.

1mm is not much.

Hmm not sure what I can take off the bellhousing since it is actually the small bolt for the inspection cover that is hitting. I could take some off the manifold.

I am not sure it really matters, not seeing any false knock and no vibrations in the car I may just leave it alone for now until the warmer weather comes.

I had that problem with my Kook's LT 1 7/8's on my C5. They would not bolt on at all, driver's manifold. I found I had to grind 2 of the 10 mm bolts for the inspection cover down. I took 1/2 the 10mm part off and now it fits with enough space for a business card to slip past.
