Thanks for the continued feedback!
And ouch, and crossed fingers, on all the parts you needed Snomas!
Wolfe10- Yes to a seasoned casting is a known item. But, it is supposed to also be a new and improved manifold, as well as gasket. And who knows, it may not be warped (Wink, pretty good chance that it is...). Rocky Mountain, and most Cummins shops, prefer to toss new parts at a repair. But, if it is not cracked, and not too badly warped - I'll sure go over this with the Service Manager.
We'll see.
Best to you both, and thanks,
Smitty
