I bought a new-old stock TC exhaust manifold off EBay. When it arrived I noticed that it wasn't perfectly plane :? . It drops off on the final zylinder by about 1, or 1.5 mm. I then brought it to a plateing company to have it put in the acid bath to get rid off any surface rust. When I discussed my concern with the plateing company they reckoned that this kind of tolerance should be compensated by the gasket. I am though still a bit apprehensive about fitting it. Can anybody reassure me about what kind of gaps the gasket rings can cope with? Thanks again for your much appreciated comments.
