Not that critical
By Royce - 04/09/2004 9:53:48 PM; IP 4.224.69.109
I have done this several times. The head was surfaced once on all the ones I have done, manifolds never. No leaks yet. Maybe 7 or 8 Cobra Jets and the same number of 390GT's and 3 427 GT-E's. Just be sure there is no grease, put a light coat of RTV on there and put it together. Actual experience speaking, not theory. I have never used high temp RTV, only buy the Super Black type. Have also used Permatex Form a Gasket #1 when I was out of RTV, it works just as well.

If you still have the opportunity to mill everything and are afraid to take free advice from an old grease monkey then go ahead, it sure won't hurt anything. It will just cost more!
