Custom manifold with warped flange
i just got a ross cates manifold and the header flange is .5 thick and it is warped a 1/4 inch and that would only leave me with a 1/4 inch left will that be ok or can i cut slots in between the runners and than resurface it

Re: Custom manifold with warped flange (backpurge)
Wouldn't cutting the flange to half it's thickness also make it more prone to warping?
I would also stray from fixing it myself as it might void any warrentee they might have on the work.

Re: Custom manifold with warped flange (crxvtecturbo)
You really need to cut it then resurface. If you cut the headflange the runners will most likely shift judging by how warped it is. The uneven runners can be planed flat and then the manifold will be 'relaxed' once you bolt it down rather than having to be pulled into shape by the manifold studs. Planing it then cutting could really screw you in the end. If you want to send it to me I will make it work for you.
