manifold problem

[jon haines]

I have got my manifolds off as head gasket has gone and the nearside flanges are corroded to the point were the area round were the gasket will go is very thin and may not form a tight seal so i need to have the faces skimmed. does anyone know if this can be done and were. Preferably in lancashire.

Be careful skimming the faces as the manifold may no longer be a good fit in the gap between the cylinder heads.

You could probably build it up first with some weld to give enough to machine away again...

[jon haines]

Thats a good idea Adam never thought of that
