how many of you here have blown you rheadgaskets and never overheated ?? im curious .. plus .. is it absoluley necessary to resurface the head . i mean if the gaskets just blown but no overheating has taken place it should be fine right ?

 

take it to a good machine shop and have them check for warpage

 

if you have a good eye and a true straight edge, you can check for warpage yourself. Emphasis on the TRUE straight edge, possibly a good T (metal) would do it. If it's warped, you SHOULD be able to tell. check from every angle.
