After the machining, take a file or die grinder and remove all of the sharp edges so they won't dig into the new gaskets.
Never thought to do that. Sounds like a good idea. I replaced a cracked intake/exhaust manifold on my 327. Had the assembly resurfaced and then installed it. It wasn't long before I noticed part of one of the gaskets was moving because of the heating and cooling. Thought I didn't have the thing torqued down properly. Now I think the problem was caused by the sharp edged left from the resurfacing digging into the gasket. Never had the same problem with a V8 exhaust or a 6 intake/exhaust manifold. You live and learn.
