Hooking up the exhaust system, using a Vetterman exhaust on a O-360A1D.

The exhast flange seems to fit the engine just fine, but the gasket won't

go on.  The slotted holes are just a hair too close together.  Tried on

all three of the cylinders that have two studs (one is missing a stud,

didn't notice until I went to put stuff on tonight).  The difference is

well under 1/16", is it Ok to file that slotted hole just a hair wider?

I don't know if it's okay, but it's what I have done numerous times with no 

ill effects so far. Sure beats messing up the threads of the stud trying to 

force the gasket on.

  Thanks, tried one last night just to see, had to remove about .025" from
	


each side, so call it .05" wider.  Maybe a bit weaker, but probably not

enough to matter.
