extractor rust removal?

[halminator]

Have picked up a set of cheap Tri-Y extractors for use on a 2f. The problem is they have been sitting a garage for the last 6-12 months and developed surface rust where they mate the gasket.

What do you guys think would be the best way to clean these up prior to installing??

wire brush to get rid of the surface rust if you feel you must and a bit of ultra copper (ultra high temp silicone) whe you put em on, dont go mad with it, just a thin smear is enough.

I'd use a wire brush in a drill on low speed, might not be the best way, but' that's what I'd do..

if you are low tech, then sand it by hand and use a rust converter. but a wire brush would make it a 2 minute job. wear a face mask and goggles because rust dust is nasty.

yeah - i fugured that a going over with a wire brush should do the trick.

Would gasket goo or ultra copper clear up any imperfections and create a better seal?

I use it on my vehicles, have not had a leak from that part of the zorst yet ... Also make sure that the nuts/studs/bolts that hold the manifold on are torqued down equally ..
