Hey everyone,
For those of you that don't know i have been doing a bolt on combo with gt40's and explorer intake. I installed and pulled my intake 3 times in desperate attempt to fix a leak in the rear, i was going for my fourth install and decided to check the manifold very closely... well there seems to bee two dimples in my problem area and just by using a straight edge seems to be visible light(not a flat surface) when compared to the other corners and old manifold? don't know if this is the culprit but im desperate, i almost ordered a china upper lower kit, but i realized fixing what i have is probably cheaper.
This is all in attempt to keep the heads on .which btw seem good and always have. i figure manifolds are more likely to warp and mess up then heads, and the heads were just brought from the shop.(according to the salesman ) which is my fault for trusting him if i end having to take them off for machine work?
anyways i was wondering if anyone knows how much a intake manifold cost to have decked/resurfaced/fixed? and if the heads have to be with it? i don't want to get ripped since this is going to be my first experience with a machine shop? there is a nice lower on ebay right now, but im hesitant after buying this one!
sure would be nice if this fixes it, if the heads have to come off well, i quit
