I get nothing but trouble with gaskets between turbo and manifold, better off getting the adaptor faces skimmed and using some firegum as Ruan suggests.

Just popped to my local engineering firm (aot) as i havnt got access to a set of parrallels at work for the mill (old boy decides to lock them up as his own :/)

The guy there is under the impression its a pointless excersise. Hes checked the flatness of the adapter and assures me its still straight but said to me theres no point in machining the adapter unless i intend to have all the mating surfaces lapped at which point he said theres no need for any gasket or paste to be present. He believes that if i intend to use paste the slight pitting on the surface will actually help to grip the paste but i must degrease and remove any form of soot and oil residue from all surfaces (think that goes without saying tho)
