I see Spook (may he remain healthy) gave you advice on chemically cleaning the surfaces. Here's how I learned and what I've practiced since 5 years working in Renault and Peugeot shops -- use a block of 2x4 cut to the width of the head/block surface. Wrap the wooden block with a medium grade emery cloth and generously lube it with ATF. Place rags stuffed into the open cylinders and with long even strokes "block sand" the top of the engine block and mating surface of the head. Wash the head and check for straightness with a machinists ruler and feeler gauges. Remove the valves and check the guides for wear. Send the head out, as needed.- Dave
