having great difficulty sealing intake manifold. I suspect one cyl. head has been milled and not the other. will cc'ing chambers give a ballpark as to how to balance them out?

sorry, 440 motor-measured int sealing surface and had manifold milled for fitment-- CH4B manifold-- steel vally gask. only this time I used it with paper gaskets and gasket sealer on both sides. will know if this solved the problem when I finish buttoning it up DaveOK, so what engine are you working on? What makes you think only one cylinder head was machined? Please describe exactly what you are seeing & experiencing that makes you say you're having trouble sealing the intake manifold. What intake gasket (or gaskets) are you using?
Your approach makes sense if.....when you first tried to bolt up your intake (just the steel valley pan gasket) the intake bolt holes in the intake sat quite a bit below the threaded intake bolt holes in the heads. The paper gaskets will move the intake manifold "up".sorry, 440 motor-measured int sealing surface and had manifold milled for fitment-- CH4B manifold-- steel vally gask. only this time I used it with paper gaskets and gasket sealer on both sides. will know if this solved the problem when I finish buttoning it up Dave
