cazzac2222 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Eyup, Im just wanting to know if anyone on this forum uses a specific engineering company in the leeds/bradford area for skimming of heads, exhaust manifolds etc.I have a wepr e/w mild steel manifold which has been sat in a garage for a while and has a build up of rust on the flange what meets the block and just want it skimming off to make it right. While its getting done the manifold to turbo flange may aswell be done aswell and new studs and bolts all around fitted.So, if anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thanks alot, Zac Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 How bad us the corrosion? Have you got any picturesDepending on how bad it was iwould just get a rubbing block and emery cloth and rub it off yourself,Be much cheaper and easier than engine shop prices.Obviously if it's really bad it may need some skimming but if you do it with emery cloth the gaskets will take up any imperfection on the flange faceGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
