This past weekend, I successfully removed my cracked "ell" riser and old exhaust flange. The old flange was mounted via two studs, not via the flange mounting bolts provided with the MMI exhaust flange I just received.
The new flange fits over the studs, however, the face of the manifold where the flange mounts appears to me uneven, so that the flange will not mount flush with the manifold. There is up to a significant (maybe a little over 1/16") gap between the flange and the manifold.
Do I have any other options besides removing the manifold and having the flange mounting face ground smooth?
