Gasketed Surfaces

Posted by Paul_NJ on August 01, 2004 at 21:33:34 from (68.239.174.111):

Must metal to metal surfaces that will be joined with a gasket be cleaned down to bare metal, or is it just sufficient that they be smooth? Specifically, let's say you have cleaned the surfaces well of rust and dirt. They are smooth. Do you have to mask them when you are painting, or can you join painted flanges with a gasket and sealant? I'm referring to say a steering gearbox, or a water manifold. Not a head gasket or a hydraulic manifold, where the pressure will be high.

I'd appreciate your thoughts.
