i am in the middle of my ape bar change out.i have the exhaust&nbsp\\;removed. I look at my new exhaust header flange gaskets and then i look on the exhaust port on the block.it looks as if the original gaskets have baked into the gasket seat area.should these be worked/picked out?what have you used to clean the exhaust port area free of old gasket?any help would be appreciated!Peace

 

You can pop them out with a dental pick or a small flat blade screwdriver, just be careful not to damage the area.&nbsp\\; Although they look baked in, they will pop out.
