Head gasket questions



Greetings Alfisti,

I just pulled the cylinder head on my 74 GTV last night to replace the head gasket.

Can anyone tell me exactly how clean I need to make the sealing surfaces ? If I scrape it off and use some acetone I can get it to where it feels very smooth, but it still is discolored ( blackish or brownish ). Or should I bite the bullet and have it resurfaced ? If so can I just remove the cams and leave the valves in ?

Thanks,

Dan Walker
