1.03 torsion bars vs Dougs headers

This combination was super close...even closer now with my rear/ spring mods. Seems instead of occasionally banging while driving it seems somewhat continuous. I don't really to want to ding the headers as they were pretty hard to get in there so I don't want to take them out. I also don't want them looking all banged up. Heat them with the torch and massage them some while in the car? Perhaps shim up the motor some? It's so tight, it requires raisng the motor up to clear the hex to get the bars in or out. The drivers side is the worst with 3 out of 4 tubes touching, while the driver seems to have one.
Any ideas?
