Default Re: Manifold milling

Marty,

during the engine revision, I measured the assembled intake and exhaust group against each other. The difference between the inlet group and the outlet group was 1.2 millimeters.

The outlet group alone had a difference of 0.5 millimeters.

The seals can compensate a little bit. But the differences can cause the two elbows to crack and break!


I had that surface grinded in an assembled unit.
