Had intake leak and now what

[CumminsFever]

Last week I had a guy bring one of these intakes in that was severely corroded around the water jacket. I ground it out and filled it in. These things are atrocious metal quality and aren't easy to fix, but CAN be fixed. I had no idea the manifold was so spendy!
Waiting on pics of the fixed intake!

$100 is a great deal but is it flat?

Normally I am not a big fan of sealer used with new gaskets, depending on the manufacturer and the gasket design, but in this case, I would likely use some sealer on the gaskets.

$100 is a great deal but is it flat?they checked for flatness. Had it mounted to spare head they had and couldn't get a feeler guage in between.
