Top Heater Hose

[Slovik]

Coming down the home stretch on my conversion and I'm fitting the hoses, the top heater hose touches the intake manifold, what have you guys been doing, do you just bend the heater outlet a little or will this break it? or is there a hose that jogs downs right after the heater outlet. Its a 91 318is

Thanks,

Seth

heat it and gently bend it.

insert smaller diameter rod/pipe
pull down slowly

Thanks Guys, I did both used a little heat and deep socket the same diameter as the inside of the pipe also found a hose with slight jog down, now lots of room in between the hose and the intake manifold.
