My lower intake manifold is warped about .007 across lenght of runners. Will the gasket seal alright like this or do I need to have it milled? I can't find any tolerances for straightness of the lower.

thanks

If milling isn't an easy option, I know Ford Racing makes intake gaskets that are thicker, like .07 vs. .05
That might make the difference.
