I'm a little confused now. When I removed the manifolds from the head, they
were two separate pieces.

You have an older one then?

The later models have the intake and the exhaust bolted together.

If you go to any engine rebuilder, they have this big belt sander thing
that they can run the manifold across to make it flat again. If it has
warped beyond that, then you might be looking at replacing it.

I don't have my Chilton's in front of me, but I seem to recall that it
warns that the manifolds should be loosely attached before torquing down
the head. Might Happy Jeeper's problem have something to do with that?

"Marking it OT, crossing your fingers when you hit "send," or wearing
the propeller beanie while posting does not actually negate that."
