my fist idea was to have it machine so that they are the same. then the idea of increasing the gasket thickness for the intake to take up the space in place of machining. i have access to 1/8 " gasket material for high press and temp steam service
i was lucky to find this exhaust manifold an hour and a half after i realized that the one on the 248 was cracked. my fears are sending it out the good one and having in destroyed. finding another one as fast as the first will most likely prove difficult.
what do you stovebolters think of this mind set. and what would you do if faced wuth this set back? | | |
