    quote wannabe outboard guy:

    Most guys just put a sheet of 120 grit emery cloth on a piece of flat window glass and run the head over it in a figure 8 pattern. do this till the gasket surface is shiny and even. That’s the Mumbles method. I believe Fleetwin does it the same way.

    Yep, just did this with 220 grit wetland paper on a warped Mercury exhaust/water jacket cover recently. Took a good 30 minutes of elbow grease doing figure 8s, but it nice and flat … no more water leaks. Not a head, but the same principle.
