Where should I go to get my manifolds milled in the Seattle area?
Long story short, my exhaust manifold has a lot of nasty, caked on rust/old gasket bonded to the gasket surface, and I haven't had great luck getting it off with a little drill-mounted wirewheel (I'm going to try a bigger wheel on my angle grinder tomorrow).
What I'm wondering is, if I can't get to a nice flat surface under the rusty crud...where should I go to get the manifolds milled? I say 'seattle area' in the thread title, but Bremerton and Tacoma are also relatively accessible from Vashon Island, where I happen to be located.
Alternately, for those who have had success with a Remflex gasket, just how nasty a gasket surface can they work with? Both the intake and exhaust manifolds are more or less 'flat,' i.e. not warped, but the actual surface on the exhaust manifold is fairly rough, and a little bit pitted where I've gotten the rust layer off.
