We're not talking cylinder heads here Paul. I'd hate to see your
windshield! :—)
Humor aside, I wouldn't use a wire brush on a cylinder head either.
Certainly not on the valve seats or the gasket mating surface. The
proper way to prepare the gasket surface, once any grease or sealant
has been removed with a solvent, is with a large, flat, dull file
and even strokes. Valve pockets can be cleaned with a wire brush on
a drill, but if the valve seats don't need regrinding, lapping
compound, the valve, and a lapping stick are the proper cleaning
tools.
Hey, I get serious about cylinder heads:-).

Hey, I was talking a brass wire brush, not steel! :—)
