Anytime I put a part back on like a head or manifold I use a big mill "bass -tard" file (yes misspelled because of the potty mouth filter!) and run it across the surface in one direction and count the strokes. I then turn it around and do it the opposite direction the same amount of strokes and I hold it at about a 45 deg angle. Keep even pressure on it by using your fingers on the file surface and not on the ends of the file. Boy does it show high and low spots! Usually the worst places are where bolts or studs go into a block. The pull from the torqueing will pull the iron up eventually and make a hump around the hole. you have to pull the studs out to do it. Once in a while I will find a place where the original machining wasn"t so great. like if the machining groves are too deep or uneven. The humps around the studs will not let the head torque right and the rest of the gasket surface won"t reach torque (crush)spec. It is worth a shot to try it.
