Intake Bolt Hole Problem

[Casey96SS]

Having problems getting my intake bolt holes to line up. Putting on a fresh set of LE2 heads (milled .020"?) and LE ported intake. Running a .026" head gasket.


It seems like the flanges of the intake mate with the heads and block pretty close. I just can't seem to get some of the intake bolts started due to the holes not lining up.


Has anyone run into a similar situation? Do you think I can fix this by just elongating the holes a little with a carbide bit and dremmel?

Elongate holes a little bit, it's a common issue when heads are milled

Cool, that's what looked like needs to be done. Just wanted to make sure I was not missing something.
