They make these scuff pads that look like a little disk of scotch brite that you can chuck up into a drill. Forget what they're called...

any gasket resurfacing kit will work with either power or air tools needed to fit the bits. Or a mill

I bought some gasket remover spray at napa and got some of those 3m abrasive pads. They work beautifully.

flip the block upside down and drag it with your car for 1 block on a smooth road
