IMO the barrel or face seals in a manifold are a critical hp application and should not be subjected to movement - the seals are not designed for dynamic applications.
Agreed, & that's why several of the posters have distinguished between the MDE manifold which (IIRC) uses a face seal and others which don't. Turning a barrel ring manifold is not a problem.
