if you have half a bolt hole showing with no gaskets, shim it up until you are covering the bolt hole. you'll need to cut that amount plus 80%-85% of the thickness of the gasket you intend to run.
Do you mean shim up the manifold until the bolt hole in the head is centered on the manifold bolt hole?
no, the problem is that his manifold sits to high. by how much he didn't really say. but if half of the bolt hole in the head is all that shows, he can raise the intake with shims or gaskets until it's raised an equal amount. then use that thickness to decide how much to cut so the manifold sits down lower afterwards.
