    I am looking for recommendations to have my 71 GS 455 exhaust manifolds resurfaced. Preferably in the south Florida region. If I have to ship them somewhere that's OK too. I had the pair ceramic coated and they have been leaking since. I have a set of gaskets but don't want to use them. Thanks

    Any machine shop should be able to do this.

    Thanks guys! Yes I was going to call Scotty as he built the engine.

    It takes a large sanding belt, looks like a table! Most shops who do it charge $30-60. It does not need a mill.

    Did mine on a surfacer. Took a minute or two.
    Gasket free forever.
