Went to put on intake today and tried a pre fit on intake with 1/16" MR gasket ultra seal intake gaskets. Have more than 1/8" gap on front and rear of intake and bolt hoes and ports dont line up. I remove both intake gaskets and just sit intake mainfold on heads and intake ports line up and bolt hoes line up nice and much smaller gap at front and rear of intake. My question I figure about 1/16th" inch mill off each side of intake? BBC 498 intake Victor JR and 781 heads. Heads have been milled several times about .005 to clean up. Please advise. Thanks
