Actually "H's" had cast iron flat top pistons from the plant. Super H's had alum. pistons... If You measure Your pistons You'll probably find they are 3-7/16" dia. instead of the factory 3-3/8" I'd buy a couple cans of "Brake-Clean" spray solvent to clean-up the head before you take it to the shop. Use paper towels or old T-shirts, etc. to get most of the dirt/grease off. I've heard Oven Cleaner works great too. If Your having a shop rebuild the head they will probably "Hot Tank" it... hot agitated chemical cleaning... It will look like new when it comes out of the tank. That cleans it on the inside as well as the outside. The shop will need it clean to check for cracks, etc.
