My passenger side exhaust gasket is leaking between the front two manifold bolts, along the joining seam. I've ordered the RemFlex gaskets from JmK. The question, should I have the manifold smoothed, or allow the Remlex to do it's thing?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Depending on how it may be worn it may seal OK -- but exhaust gas can erode the surface.
Use a straight edge to check -- but having it smoothed is only $25-30 depending on your location.
If it is not too bad you could also put some sandpaper on a known flat surface, ie a table saw top, and sand it down yourself.
