Thanks for the tip here. I see Rich W. just grinded a bit off the
manifold to clear that area. I kinda like that idea beter, sounds
easier. I'll cross this bridge when I get to it, maybe mine will
clear ok..

I checked my injector holes and they look ok. No pieces hangin loose.
I now see what you posted once about the bosses missing a chunk of
material down in the bottom. It looks like they have improved the
casting as mine is close but not missing anything like yours was.
