I held a freshly machined manifold up against my freshly cleaned head and there is a visible gap of about .030" on the top of two ports.

i suppose i should have stopped right there and got the head milled but the other head was already bolted in so I took a chance and installed it.

Historically I'd had a problem getting the manifolds to not leak. I had some success using TWO regular Felpro gaskets.

So, what's the best option?

Thanks
