Yes several light coats of good quality aluminum spray paint and a flat deck/heads required

aren't the steel shims/gaskets fully re-useable? even after the engine's been run?

After firing for the head gaskets dead soft copper yes steel no, intake can get by w it and I'd even be leery of reusing these esp as they are so cheap but I think with some good spray alum paint he'll be OK IF the surfaces were both milled (or competently checked & found to be flat)during the rebuild EDIT and alum spray should be used the 1st time too
