Okay, to use a metal head gasket, what can I do to the block to "clean it up enough" so a "bead" type gasket would work?

Also, I see the different thicknesses of the gaskets, how do I know (other then a stock 1.2mm) which to use? I'm assuming of course that this engine has never had the head gasket replaced.

From HSK Website:

11116-153195TOYOTA Supra 1986.5-1992 ; Engine Code: 7MG(T)EBead86-1.2$110.00

What other things do I need to know about the metal gaskets that hasn't been said so far?

I've been reading the different websites on it, but are there some that go into details about cleaning up the block?

I figure, if I'm going to this much trouble, doing it right would be nice.

And of course, thanks for the info so far!
