Does it require a different water rail? or does the rail need cutting and welding to clear. Any help most welcome. Cheers Tim Back in the game

Somebody previously has bashed the header in to help clearance... Still not enough though... I have very slightly ground the waterrail to help, but the manifold is still pressed up hard against it. Countrycruising suggested two manifold gaskets??. Anybody fitted one of these before? Cheers Tim Back in the game
