This
view shows how we machine the major part of the factory manifold off of the
cylinder head. We set the head, valve cover side down, against the mill table.
We then mill through the bottom of the manifold as close to the head as possible.
After this operation we set the head on the exhaust side using parallels and
clamping the head to finish machining for the manifold.
