Have you got the lower out aswell? Might be easier for the welder to bolt the manifold onto the lower and weld it complete so it doesnt warp and is flush.

Exactly the same thing happened to mine!!!
Cost me $50 to get it welded and have the face machined true.........No big deal......Although I did panic at first and various wreckers were quoting $350 for the upper!!!!! |

Take it back, a proper weld shouldnt have cracked again.
