wordpress header puzzle

I'm struggling with a resizing of a header on a WordPress blog.

I'm using a theme and the style sheet has this:

#header
{

background:url(../../../../wordpress/wp-content/themes/themename/images/headername.jpg)
no-repeat;
height:244px;
text-align:right;
width: 970px;
}

My image is 244 x 970 but it's showing up as cropped to the original
image size of 660x144.

I've searched wordpress.org and found this page:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Designing_Headers

But this theme doesn't reference a headerimg in the style sheet.

Looking at the source of index.php page online, it looks like it's an
inline css, but opening index.php doesn't show it.

<style type="text/css">

#header {
height: 160px;
width: 660px;
margin: 0 auto;

background:url(http://domainname.com/blog/wp-content/themes/themename/images/headername.jpg)
no-repeat;
}
#header *
{
color: #blank;
}
</style>
</head>

Opening the theme's header.php to edit header only shows me this:

<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('siteurl'); ?>" title="<?php
bloginfo('name'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<h2><?php bloginfo('description');?></h2>
</div>

Opening index.php shows

<?php get_header();?>
<div id="content">

So really stumped how to change header width to reflect 970 image.

I have changed wrapper and footer with no issues.

Any help most appreciated.
