[6pack] manifold studs and powder coating

[Bud R]

I’d leave the PC on it. A good sealant like the Right Stuff (NAPA and others) will seal the pump so it doesn’t leak.

I tried to wire brush the coating off but only ended up giving them a different finished texture.  Can I continue assembly or does the powder coating have to be completely removed?  If it needs to be removed is there an easy way that doesn't risk marring the mating surface?
