good job on the mani, I had the same problem happen to me with my precision 6262, u can cut the tab that stick out and cut the valve cover a little with a grinder but you have to be very careful. Also you can add another flange on top of the mani that acts as a spacer. Me i got lucky and picked up a log mani that fit for 200 bucks. I found that all protech log manis arent the same some fit different. Does the turbo clear the hood?
