I was looking at the setup yesterday and figured I would keep it together while I try to straighten it out. This way I can guage the amount of bend I need to clear the manifold. My initial reason for removing and separating them was for rust removal and a much needed painting of the manifold. The heat riser,at the time, was not the issue, but it is now and I know that it has to be repaired. Hopefully heating it up will allow me to bend it, without snapping it off?
