What is the best way to clean up the deck of block and the heads? Pistons are still in the block.
Thanks

Pull it and send it to the machine shop....and then wash it with soap and water when it comes back. That is the absolute best and most accurate way though not the cheapest. Tim

I use a scraper on the iron parts, block and/or heads and if it's aluminum very carefully with a razor blade as to not gouge the aluminum. Finish it off by hand with a scruffy pad.

If you can't feel anything on the surface with a fresh razor blade, the gasket won't know the difference.
I know, just me being a bit anal.
