Default Rover 16V K-Series Cylinder Head Overhaul

Hi all,

So I've taken apart the cylinder head and I'm going to grind in the
valves. I'm wondering how best to clean up the deposits around the
valve seats. Can I really use a small wire brush in an electric drill,
or will that munch through the soft allow in short order? I understand
that the valve seats themselves are hardened, but what about the
surrounding metal? Am I better off going easy with a plastic scraper?

Thanks

Luke
