<p>And quite often when people fabricate an exhaust manifold they will bring it to us to be coated without checking the flatness of the gasket flange. The manifold will then be bolted to the head after it is coated and is prone to premature leakage even with sealer, often right from the first time the engine is fired up. Not only will this affect the performance of the engine but it will also affect the tune and in a turbocharged engine cause a loss of boost and if left unchecked the hot exhaust gas passing through the leak can cause the flange to warp even further, and in the worst cases the flange may need replacing.</p>
