My thought is that it may be warped. It is an original LS6 low rise manifold so I could get the big block under a flat hood. When I got it off ebay it looked pretty nice, all the threads were good in the ports and whatnot, but the water outlet flange was not flat and had a groove in it and leaked coolant. We used a file and got it flat and most of the groove out. Then I used the Fel-pro gasket with the molded o-ring on the gasket and these solved the coolant issue. Since it did have this problem I think the head flange may have an issue.
I only need this engine to last/work one more driving season, barring any financial issues
, then it is coming out. Either my cousin is going to take the engine or it will go in my 69 C10 truck. If it goes in my truck it is going to get a different manifold.
