Log manifold identification

Is this an ED log manifold? Are there any markings etc?

Cheers

if you get one just linish it before you fit it.

if you get one I'll just linish it before I fit it.

Fixed that for you??.

Worst I'm low boosting my clio 182 thread ever

 

[Louis]

Got this today and it's pretty warped. Will just linishing this sort it or shall I get money back?

I presume itll pull it tight once against the head anyway?

 

[bloke]

Will linish, might take a while with it being cast though. If you can get it in a milling machine that will sort it in no time.

Was it from aliexpress?

No from someone on csoc. It's meant to be a proper ED one

Quick skim on a milling machine will sort that easy.

Just with a fly cutter? I've access to a mill at work but dont know if I have the range on the bed

Yeah fly cutter will give you a nice finish. Not that it'll need to be that smooth.

We only have some end mills, no fly cutter. Presume this will work just as good?

Just run one with only one insert in. Voila, fly cutter?.

Not indexable either! What sort of surface finish are you after on a log mani? I know usually you dont want it polishes otherwise doesn't seal but then you dont want it rough either.
Planning on running an end mill on it then onto some 600 grit?
I presume itll pull flat once bolted to the head anyway?

Sump face on the car jobs we do call for a 3.2 um finish, crank case mating faces are 1.6um. You sound probably concentrate on getting across it without any vibration or judder. Using a gasket? Just get it flat.
