Alright, time for an update. Radiator is buttoned back up, brought the engine up to full temperature and the fan kicks on great and temps stayed nice and steady while I was messing around with idle settings and such.
VERY much looking forward to street tuning

can anybody guess from the photo which cylinder has the most runout?
good guess
the flange is so far warped I'm actually concerned about the proximity of the cold side to the head.. I suspect I might not have enough clearance after the flange is surfaced..... we'll see.

holy crap, thats a crap load of warpage right there. good thing the flange is so thick so you can have it planed.

Damn! That's almost as much as your 20VT one had
Me thinks Javad needs some better QC on these things. you have had them for a long time though so I am sure 034 have this under control now.

well, I did a lot of re-welding to this one to make it clear my framerail and I never checked the flange before or after (I know, I know) so the warpage very well could have occured because of the work I did to it.

Marc's V8 flanges certainly didn't leave here like that
That's a metric ton of warpage to get missed heading outta here, those things woulda sat like rocking horses on the floor :-P.
Every log manifold like these are flycut flat these days before they leave. No worries there.
Just windin' ya up buddy to see if ya'd bite, looks like I caught somehting

Well I just look at it like this...Is the otherside that didn't needto be modified warped like that? Not that I know of, so it's probably from the extra work it needed. Oh and Marc I guess dennis was right when he said you had a HUGE leak on that EM

a gasket will seal that right:-D :-D
we just welded a flange onto my buddies downpipe and same thing happened...we even had the thing clamped down on all 4 corners.....crazy how thick stainless likes to bend under heat.
