[Bmcu] surface TR3 exhaust manifold?

[Ron Christensen]

It is possible that you can just install it as is using silicone to seal any
imperfections.  We used to assemble our sprint car motors without any
gaskets at all (except for a head gasket), just silicone, even the exhaust
headers!

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
