Default crossover touching oil pan???

So I'm finishing up putting the rebuild together and after bolting the turbo-crossover-headers together I notice the crossover is touching the bottom of the oil pan on the pass side. I'm pretty sure it didn't do this before. ANyone else have this issue and is it a problem. thanks.

You are going to spit exhaust out of the top of the head/header gaskets.
Something is wrong.
You probably spun the clocking slightly out on the turbo during dissassembly.
You do not have the turbo-back exhaust on, right?
This would show if the clocking is out.

DP is on but not the exhaust after. As for clocking. Doesn't that involve dissassembling the turbocharger?

No, that is why I suggested it.

I think I understand what you're saying. I simply lossened the clocking nuts...tap tap. all better. At first I thought you were implying that I must have taken apart the turbo but you're saying it was more like collateral damage Must have been it since slight clocking was the perfect fix.
