Exhaust carbon build up
Clem2112:
I would leave the deposits as is.... Will build up again !
The seals may be ok ..... If they have clean contact faces and show no sign of leakage they should work. I used to leave them in anyway, never had a problem. If a new set of headers were going on then new seals of course. Ones I have removed often look ok.

You can heat the copper gaskets with a torch so they expand I do the same with sump plug washers never had to replace one yet.

Clem2112:
Copper washers can be annealed for re-use.........but these exhaust seals are a rolled steel and fibre type for very high exhaust temperatures.
Happy new year !
