Engine Performance problem
1995 Pontiac Sunfire Automatic 183000 miles

I just bought this car and the flange that connects the pipe to the maifold was broke and still connected to the manifold.So i removed the bolts to get the flange off and welded the flange back to the pipe.But now only one bolt will go in all the way the others go in but they tighten before the flange is flush with maifold.I even tried just putting the bolts in without trying to connect the pipe and they still wont go in all the way.Can anyone tell me why this is.
