That's the exact problem the one brought to me had. By the time the ports were straightened out to get a decent match to the heads and gaskets, there was no more than .060" left for a gasket seal at the top of 3-4 of the ports. Welding the outside top would have effected the look of the manifold. Also the flanges would have needed to be set-up in the mill and surfaced. The cost to make these repairs would have been substantially more than the manifold cost. IMO, if they are going to cast a crappy, core shifted manifold in China, please leave plenty of material so it can be repaired without welding. That would be much easier to work with.
