Cleaning, and milling are optional. You would be surprised at how tough these engines really are. It's up to you, but if it were me, "flux it"

Rebuild the head at home and get it all ready. Take a couple days at home scheduled for the car and simply, remove the old head, drop the pan, push out the pistons, hone and re-ring it and get it back together with the head.

If you have any problems or questions, don't be afraid to ask so we can help!
