Default touching kmember

Hey all I just installed my driver side header in and it is up against the kmember but is all bolted in straight to the block. DO I need to grind down the kmember or since i have it all in place is it ok to have it staying up against it? Thanks!

what headers are they?

if they are touching now, they are going to bang when the engine is in operation...
its possible your stock mounts may be worn out or even busted...id take a look at those first.

The are the ebay headers. The header seems to be up against the header pretty hard to the point I really cant see it having room to bang it. Maybe though. I Dont know exactly where to look for the mounts.?

yea i have this problem with mine.
when im stopped or the car is idleling my headers are banging on the kmember so im going to have to grind them a little so that they dont touch them and the noise will stop.
