What did ya'll do about the the LS6 coolant crossover? The pipe on it is like 1mm or less from the alternator bracket. It's so close I can't get the coolant tubing on it. Can this be safely bent slightly or what? I really don't want to cut it. I just cleaned my stuff from cutting the other part of the bracket where the idler was (speartech idler relocation bracket).

 

a 5/16" boxed end wrench should fit over it. use that to bend it. just be careful not to kink it.
