Default Kohler head resurfacing help/update

Regarding what grit to use to flatten your cylinder head, an analogy is sharpening a chisel or a knife. You could use a 600 grit stone to do this, but it would take longer than forever. Start with a coarser grit, such as 180 - 220 to quickly remove most of the material and then finish with a finer grit for the final finish. 320 would probably be good for the final sanding; I don't think I've ever used anything finer than 400 on an aluminum cylinder head.
