looks like the flange on the engine side is not 100% flat?

how heavy is it? it's hard to tell by a pic, but if if those bends are really thin, i wouldn't bother, it'll just break and be even more of a headache when you have to rip it all off and put another one on. it should be alright though, it looks pretty sturdy.

That flange is thin and if you get it milled then..........oh well, you get what you pay for. ;)
