still send it to a reputable machine shop to have them pressure test it for leaks/cracks, and have them check it for straightness.

This is the correct way to do a head gasket job. Just slapping a new gasket on without sending the head out is half-assing it, period.

If its that dirty, have the machine shop throw it in their hot tank for a little extra.
