Dave;
Maybe the shavings won't get in the engine this time, but they will the next time, and you can bet it'll be the WORST possible time. Pull the manifold, check all the threads and, if another hole looks bad, helicoil all of them. I just had to do that to my AFR 205's while port matching the manifold. I finally got a stud set from ARP and problem solved.
