I just purchased a new intake and exhaust maninfold from Tam's today. Can I just bolt them together and they'll be flat or do I need to have them machined?

I guess there are many ways to skin a manifold installation, but what i do is
assemble it onto the motor with the halves slightly loose and movable. Once everything is in place and that includes the muffler, i proceed to snug it all up.
The first thing i tighten are the two half bolts

I assume he means the two bolts that mate the two manifolds together, Mitch adds a lot of detail like I do which makes people scratch their heads. That one left me a little perplexed as well, Mitch acts like we actually know what we are doing.

If using a new exhaust manifold I would use the gland rings. If using a used manifold with more than 3/32" of droop I might not. Ater going through all 14 of my originals I found 3 that were usable. Should be able to use gland rings with all of them.
