I looked at the Hastings website a while back. They have a kind of calculator for figuring the amount to mill intake manifolds. Following the basic instructions, checked the head's intake flange angles, and came up with a 1.4 ratio of intake milling to head milling. In other words, say a net loss of .030 come from head and deck milling, after taking into account extra comp. gasket thickness. Multiply that by 1.4, and intake needs .042 taken off. Can someone verify this as correct or not. The intake goes into the shop next week.
