E30 Head Questions

[LtWacko@xxxxxxx]

I recently overheated my 325es and warped the head (car's, not mine.)  Fixed 
what caused the overheat, now I am tackling the head.  I pulled eveything off 
and took the head to the machine shop.  Basically doing a complete valve job 
along with the machining of the surface.  I will be picking up a "good" 
torque wrench to install the head.  Reading the recent thread on head bolts 
makes me wonder about preparation.  My car already had the updated head 
bolts.  New ones are on the way of course.  How should I prepare the block 
for a fresh head?  Anything special?  I will clean the mounting surface 
detailed to me by the machine shop.  In the last digest I read,  there was 
something about cleaning the bolt holes.  

I wish I could upgrade the car, but that puts me out of any racing class.

TIA

This race car is turning out to be expensive.....
