Alessandro,  The method I learned may not be satisfactory to all.  After scraping off stuck on gasket material with a tool that wont gouge the head or block and using a cleaning agent like carb cleaner to soften the gasket material.  Then I "block sand" both the head and block with a piece of 2x4 cut to the correct width and wrapped with a mid-grade emery cloth and doused  with a liberal application of ATF.  Then wipe/wash it all down.  --  Dave
