	Cool, I did I minor power-sand last week with the unit on the car.  
100% improvement over crusty pre-sand look.  I really want to take the
intake manifold off, and go to town on that bad boy, but I'm not sure if
I'm going to have to replace any gaskets or not.  Is it a simple matter
of remove, sand, buff, replace?  I just gots to know.
