Has anybody had or know if V8 intake manifolds can be machined at the intake port gasket surface? I have one that is warped on the passenger side at the exhaust crossover.

This manifold has the two slits cut out on the two center bolt holes. I never could figure why they did that. It almost looks like the solid style would have held up better to the heat. The driver's side is still flat.
 
Any competent machine shop will do that for you. It is a common procedure especially if the heads have been milled a lot to restore proper sealing at the gasket surface.
