bent header!!! need help the other day I went out to eat and there was a pot hole filled with pea gravel well you can't see it so when I drove over it the gravel gave way and I smacked my header I didn't like it was that bad so I parked the car and went in to eat well later that night I thought I would check it out and its bent like 1/8th of an inch from the oil filter. How can I bent it back into place will it be hard or is it supposed to be that close I never really paid any attention to it when I was under the car before now.
thanks

I personally wouldn't worry about it. The part of the header that runs near the oil filter isn't really the lowest part, at least I don't think it is on my car. If you banged anything, I would guess it was the collector flange or the y-pipe. Off the top of my head, I don't know how close my headers run to my oil filter, but if it makes you feel any better, put some header wrap on the filter and forget about it.
