Default head tested/skimmed

i've got problems with my s2 rst at the mo so i want to send the head off to tested and skimmed etc therefore eliminating the head being at fault.
Any idea to wot level u have to strip the head down once the manifolds are off, removal of valves etc???

just manifolds, thermostate, and rocker arms.


but also best to get it cleaned well before, to stop the swarf sticking to oil.
