its just a DC rip off, i had bought both, and the DC fit the same way, so i just went with the cheaper one..

you think more gaskets would give it a little clearance?

good solution you should put a tube on and down into a container with fluid in it.....to help the process and not allow air back into the system....

That would have been my solution.
Or dent the header a little OMFGz0rNO!! NOT A DENT!!

You dont really need that part of the bleeder unless you intend to attach a hose anyway.

I had to cut the splash shield on my EK to fit my ITR 4-1 on, but i wouldn't cut my bleeder valve off just to fit some cheap header on.

yeah when i bleed my clutch im just going to have to use a bigger hose..

and it doesnt matter if its a little dent, it was heating up the oil and my car was smoking..

"Thats the first time I've seen a splash gard cut to clear the header."

- what 4-1 header can fit without cutting that thing? or you just let it burn through?
