My only gripe was their treatment of the gasket mating surface, which was rough. There were some scrapes including a pretty deep one at the edge of one of the cylinder bores. To fix it I wood blocked the last quarter of the head best I could, using 800 grit and then 2000.

If I'm reading that right you sanded a portion of the the mating surface enough to remove a scrape? Sorry, you can't do that, you have to resurface the head now. You'll blow head gaskets as fast as you can put them on with an uneven head.

Oh, okay. The whole head at once should be fine. No worries then.
