I have seen this too on 10v engines like yours, i guess they don'y last for=
ever the only real cure is a new one but that's not exactly a cheap option.=
 Mind you the last 10v one i bought i got in germany half the cost of buyin=
g it here in the uk, in fact what i saved paid for my airfare!!!

I just took off my 4kq EM and it was BADLY cracked. This car has been pampe=
red
and has just 100K on it now.. so youre right, cracking isnt just for turbo
cars!!  All my exhaust hangers were still intact as well.
In fact Im STILL trying to get off the lower stud for #4 cyl. Geez, what we=
re
they thinking??!?!??!

Though it probably wouldn't hurt to take a couple though off it until its
perfectly flat, its probably doesn't need it.  If you can get it done easil=
y and
cheaply, then I'd say go for it for sure, but these manifolds aren't known =
for
warping like the 10v turbo ones.
