It appearantly is warped on the R end facing it. I cant see how it can be leveled out as the gaskets fit over a rim on each hole.
Can the manifold be shaved level or not?
 

Seems to me all the Port ends are aligned...

If so, no reason they cannot be milled even..

I rub "Hi-Temp" Silicone into the asbestos rings, stick them in the metal cups, then stick them on the manifold runners..

Makes the installation easier and the gaskets seem to last a lot longer..

They can be milled smooth. I have had a coupled done that way. I don't think a new aftermarket one is all that much either, as an option.

Well, the port on the R side facing it is blowing smoke, so I would think that it wasn't aligned. I have had new gaskets put on it with no effect. Was thinking of seeing if there is a material I could cut a washer like ring and insert it between the gasket rings on the manifold and block.
 

If the tractor was used an extended length of time with that exhaust gasket blown out, the manifold could be burnt away enough to need machined to a new mating surface and that would re-surface all the port ends to even them up.

I suppose, you might try putting 2 of the fiber gaskets in the metal cup on that end. I do prefer to rub "Hi-Temp" Silicone into the fiber gaskets. I feel it makes them last longer...
