[QUOTE="cdmccul, post: 124362, member: 9318"] I'm with foton. I'd stack a couple gaskets. Traditionally you'd have your exhaust manifolds milled flat at the machine shop. Nice smooth head, nice smooth manifold, and NO gasket. But this is really warped! If stacking gaskets doesn't clean it up enough, I think you could use a belt sander to reduce the overall warp. No, you're not going to get perfect surfaces, but you would take down some of the warp did try a single gasket will do the job. With these exhaust gaskets, I wouldn't be worried about reusing EXHAUST gaskets, even if you have a few hours of run time on them. Unless they start flaking apart, reuse them. [/QUOTE]
