Default Used Head ??????

So I bought my heads from a friend of mine(absolute stage II's). They came right off his car, and it was running (very well). My question is, what should I do to the heads before I put them on my car? They are dirty. Can I use break parts cleaner to clean them up before I install them? Or should I use something else? Should I take them to someone to have them cleaned? Any input on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Gunk and a water hose works fine. Make sure you blow them out with compressed air to remove all the water.

Springs are good, heads dont have that many miles on them, and yes they are Ed's old heads.
