Default HEADER QUESTIONS

Hey guys:
I fianlly got the time and the $$$$ to start working on my firebird again.
I purchased a set oif Headman Headers and would like to know:
1) What are the torque specs for the header bolts?
2) Should I use locktite on those same bolts?
3) Should there be any sort of additional gasket coating applied to the header gasket before installing?
4) Lastly, it looks like the actual surface on the header itself is not 100% smooth. There seems to be sort of an extension past the surface from the tubes itself. Is that ok? Should they be ground smooth, so gasket sits flush?
Is this a manufacturer defect, or is it designed that way properly?

THANKS
CHRIS
