The most important part of this is resurfacing the manifolds themselves, or the gaskets will just blow out again. For some reason the engine surface will be just fine, but the cast iron manifolds get very pitted on the gasket surface. I use a stationery belt sander, but if you can have a machine shop do it that's even better.
