FYI fellas,
After test fitting my new TTI's on my Indy Max block engine I found they hit 3 maincap cross bolts. I called TTI tech and was told I could dent them in without damaging the coating. It worked! We used various rounded shaped metal pieces with an arbor press and with a large "C" clamp, cold. I would have been concerned about power loss but, after watching the Hot Rod header bashing video, that appears to be nothing to worry about!
I did use a tough plastic between the pressing tools and the ceramic though.
