no. you clean the block, that would probably work great actually but use it with your hand not a freakin power tool or something. If your installing a metal head gasket you will need to get a fine sandpaper or sanding pad with a high grit and spend about an hour mirroring it by hand.
If your block and head were overheated, you will need to have the deck machined for level edge in order to insure the metal head gasket seals, this sucks if you want to continue to run your stock bottom end because you will need to remove your pistons and rods/crank etc and make sure the bearings are mic'd and up to spec before re-installing after the deck is machined.
