Re: Exhaust heat control valve

Finally got the last two bolts off the center studs. Still have no idea how i will torque them, except to get them really tight as there seems no way to get anything other than a box wrench on them.
Pulling the manifolds off, I note that the intake manifolds where they meet the block are somewhat longer than (proud of) the exhaust manifolds - I have a picture attached, but i think it must be something like 3/16th or greater. I can see where an exhaust leak has developed in the ports directly behind the carb, but the gasket is intact, the leak having burnt the face of the gasket and your can follow the leak then down the side of the block.
Should I take this to a machine shop as a unit and have the intake ground to make everything flush, or is this normal?
Also, anyone who has done this, how did you torque the center-most two bolts during re-assembly?
