Resurfacing a broken (and repaired) manifold  was a  the solution that was
posed for cracking exhust manifolds on the 'Talon' mail list.
I think the thought was that once the manifold had been suceessfull
'warped' , it would not warp anymore. Resurface to account for the warp,
and all should be fine.

(So the theory goes...!)
