As long as when you are doing the sanding you take care to do it evenly, and seal the cylinders well so that no substrate or shavings get in there, then you should be okay.
Try to leave a roughened surface, as it will help the gasket seal a bit better.

2000 Mitsubishi galant ran hot and now won't start I was driving down the interstate and the car wouldn't pick up speed.. It slowed down and the engine shut off. What's wrong?
I would suspect you have blown a head gasket. Check for coolant in the oil. A compression test will verify if you indeed have a blown gasket. ==ANOTHER ANSWER== When an engine overheats you run the risk of causing serious damage. You'll need to run a compression test to find out if the head gasket has been blown. Overheating can result in a warped head which causes the gasket to fail. If you have low compression in any of the cylinders but especially any two adjacent cylinders, you will need to pull the head.
When you get the car going temperature gauge is normal but when you shut it off the tiny stick touches the light why is that?
The coolant stops pumping through the block and heads once the engine is shut down. The block and heads are still hot so the coolant in the block and heads temporarily gets hotter.

Why is there only an eighth inch water-port through-way on the head gasket from a standard gasket kit for an 1988 350 Chev VS the 1 inch water-way on the block and head?
That is an intentional restriction to slow the coolant flow down so it can absorb more heat.
W reg astra 17 dti 16v Isuzu engine with head gasket gone have strip it down and one of the head bolts had a bit of rust on it is it head gasket caused it or do you have a crack in the lower?
Hi Don't panic this is normally caused by the failed head gasket seeping coolant on to the head bolts It is very unlikely the block is cracked best wishes

Honda crv 1998 model you have change the head gasket but still water goes to the engine oil what is the problem?
It IS possible that the new head gasket was not installed properly - either the gasket slipped or the head was not torqued down properly or in the proper sequence (don't feel bad it has happened MANY times to LOTS of other people) - OR - there is a crack in the block itself and the engine might have to be replaced.

When replacing a valve cover do you also need to remove the head gasket and replace it too?
No you do not.... the valve cover only bolts to the head, and the head bolts to the block... True- these are two different jobs. When changing your valve cover gasket you may just want to ensure that your head bolts and lifters are still torqued down properly. Otherwise, DO NOT remove the head gasket if you simply want to change the valve cover gasket. when replacing the head gasket you should replace the valve cover gasket and may need to (depending on make & model) replace the egr gasket, intake mainifold gasket, and exhaust manifold gasket ...but not the other way around. If your replacing the head gasket ask your local auto shop if they carry a head gasket kit that includes everything necessary in one box...but if your just changing the valve cover gasket then just change that.
