Jeremiah,
If the gasketed area is not perfectly flat, it can lead to a leak down the
road. I should think any competent machine shop could check it to see if it
needs to be done and do it for you if necessary.

Subject: [TR] surface TR3 exhaust manifold?
Howdy all,
I am getting ready to put the exhaust manifold back on my TR3, it has been
off for 29 years and the head has been rebuilt. A friend of mine told me I
should have the exhaust manifold surfaced before re-assembling. It is not
rusted, but not perfectly clean either. What are your thoughts? how much
can the gasket cover up?
If you think I should get it done, do you have a place in Salt Lake City
that could do it well?
thanks in advance,
Jeremiah
