Has anybody received a manifold that was already assembled? I have an ATS I'm getting ready to install. I checked the flanges on a straight-edge and they aren't quite on plane. The rear 3 only seem to be off by an 1/8" to 1/4" at most. What can be done to get them all in line? The instructions sent with it only cover assembling the pieces. Would heating the assembly in an oven necessary to do this? I've thought of using a block of wood and sledge hammer while the manifold is on a close-enough-to-level surface. A friend of mine said being that small of an amount, they will probably pull in when tightening the bolts. I'd be concerned about breaking the ears off of the head if the manifold refuses to budge. I'd like to get this done today, if possible. Any help would be appreciated.
