    Default Intake Bolt Hole Problem

    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.
