Default B16 Header on 1.8L GSR/LS-VTEC Motor? Doesn't Fit??

Why doesnt my B16 Mugen Header fit on my LS/VTEC or my friends GSR motor? Whats not fitting is the bottom of the header is hitting the oil pan, I've tried to dent the oil pan some to see if I can a better fit but its still a bit too short, someone with this hybrid header swap please inform me how-to. Thanks in advance guy's

Has anyone fit a B16 header on a 1.8l motor?

If so please tell me what I need to modify and how?

the 1.8 blocks are taller, just tall enough to make a b16 header hit the oil pan, denting oil pan to make it fit not a good Idea

If it won't fit the ls/vtec, I think your out of luck, the b16a and LS have the same oil pan I believe, and the gsr has different one, the block is just physically to tall, if any has anymore input, or first hand expierence, please chime in....hope this helps
