hello everybody.

i just noticed that my manifold have a slight arc on it flange.

is that ok/fixable?


best regards m.g.

 

which manifold? which flange? be more specific. if there is a gasket and the bow isn't extreme, you might be able toget away with just tightening the bolts. If bow is extreme/no gasket take it to a machine shop and have them mill it flat.

is a log manifold,

im talking about the head flange.

i tryed to picture it but i cant.... well i can but you wont see anything.

lets say that if i put it on a flat surface i can slip a coin under the side that is not pressed down.
is it ok?

is it safe to do that?

i dont know alot about metals but ill give it a shot anyway.

lets say i milld the flange, wouldnt it expand back when its gonna be in its working temerature?
