I dont know if this is common or even somthing to worry about, but my lower cooling pipe had a badly warped bottom flange and because of this it leaked when coolent was put in. To fix this, I tried to remake the gasket with a thicker material to remedy the un-even surface but when i started tightening it down, the flange snapped. P.s I also tried to lightly file the surface to get rid of the divit, but was a afraid of taking to much material off and having a huge "equal" gap.

That is unfortunate. I have never seen one wacked out of alignment before. Let me know if you need another one. We should have a few laying around.

First time I've seen this as well. I also have a dozen or so laying around and can help with one too.

I very much appreciate the offers. As soon as I broke it I found one on ebay and ordered it. It already arrived and it seems to work fine. Thankyou again though

Back a long time ago in a galaxy far far away I had a similar problem. On my first rebuild of an Invader motor I torqued the jugs and then added the coolant pipe to the jugs. Long story short the coolant pipe would not bolt up flat and I had to reset the jugs. Now I get the assembly kind of put together before I torque the jugs.
