I have used wire wheels, scotch brite pads, and grinders... depending on severity of surface. most important thing is to verify surface bed flatness. you don't wanna introduce damage to the block that would hinder gasket contact. if you MUST reuse head bolts, a very sparing hit on the wire wheel grinder is ok, but I don't recommend reusing stretch to yield bolts...
