I am in the process of rebuilding the F engine on my '73 FJ40. The original exhaust manifold had a frozen/corroded heat riser, do I decided to replace it. I found a nice intake/exhaust manifold set here on MUD. I dry fit them when they arrived and they fit fine. I then sent them off to be sandblasted and ceramic coated in the case of the exhaust manifold. Just went to fit them and this is what I found: any ideas? can I just grind that corner of the EM that so that it will fit over the stud? Makes me think that somehow it warped during blasting? seems hard to believe but it definitely fit. I did replace the studs.
