I'm in the process of freshening my engine and found this little snag. When I bolt the header to the head, there is about a .003" gap between the bolts on the outer cylinders on the passenger side header. I'm not sure if a new copper gasket will permanently seal this. I never looked at this in this detail so I'm not sure what to expect. Would they warp from just the bolt torque ? Is this to be expected and acceptable ?
How much gap is to much ? Should I replace the flanges ? This is a stage 2 head with ATR headers modified for a T6 style flange. Any leakage would impact my ability to spool-up.
