Cleaning up block surface (head removal - non Subaru)
I will be removing the head from my 205 GTI soon to renew the valve stem oil seals, and the gasket needs changing anyways I think. I will send the head off to be skimmed at a local engineering firm I hope, but what would i use to clean any muck off of the engine block?

they are pretty common for doing that, I seem to remembe rthe oil filler is on a breather/seperator so it gunges up quite easily, esp in winter.

So hopefully it's just a "feature" then. 
I haven't actually driven the thing yet so wouldn't be able to tell if there any other symptoms of HG failure.
So how would you suggest changing the seals with the head on?
