yea that will work
you can do all of this without taking the block out of the car
it just takes a little longer thats all
the head since you only have low compression on one cyl you wont have to resurface it but you must check it out and make sure that its not warped
or if your compression problem is the head or not
before you go replacing parts find the problem first

The head is freshly rebuilt with only hrs on it .There’s no leaks between the head and block as of now. I want to assume that won’t change after I do the rings. The block has 207k The head work was done bc the timing belt snapped.
