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

It's gonna take a lot of Adderall to get this thing right.
