Lynn,
A quick question!
The side inlets in the cast end-housings, have a reducer ( reduction in inlet size) of approx 2mm ( all round) just after the opening. This reducer ( reduced area) carries through to the housing face where it changes to the face shape.
Does this reducer act as a choke of the inlet charge. I've had advice that it doesn't do anything but wonder why it's there?

Its just to account for production variations in the castings. There are no dowel pins to locate the intake manifold. Just the loose fit on the mounting studs.
 
So, there will never be a sharp corner sticking out into the flow from the manifold. An effective fix, but a poor solution power wise.
