Is it any different for cast iron block and head sealing surfaces as opposed to aluminum? I saw a video recently where Steve Dulcich was using a wire wheel to clean the deck surfaces of a block.
Let me edit this real quick,We use a wire wheel on blocks, works well but that's only before boring and honing and it goes in the hot tank and pressure washed afterwards .
Ford's suck they had asbestos gaskets so wire wheel is a no go !
