85 3.2 - cylinder head/barrel sealing face

Afternoon all.
Looking over my 3.2 Carrera last night and I noticed the last time it was on the road was 2015!
I placed up the car to find the source of a misfire that eventually was traced to a broken head stud.
The motor has been sitting on an engine stand ever since with the top ends removed and stripped right back to the crankcase.
The heads need rebuild with the guides showing wear.
One concern I have is a section of the barrel sealing face (barrel to cylinder head) adjacent the broken head stud which is showing a burn pattern that when checked with a DTI -its showing this sealing face isn't true.
I have read up on machining the cylinder head sealing face but what about the barrel sealing face?
Can these be refaced or will a new set of barrels be required?
Cheers
Rob
