A 3 foot carpenter's level or other straight edge, a big file or a belt sander, and some time and patience are all that's necessary to true up manifold-to-head gasket surfaces. Use the straightedge and a bright light to check for low spots, and file/sand the high spots as required to get things leveled up. If the alignment rings are too tall afterward, they're not grinder-proof, either. Jerry
