Re: Rebuilding motor, need suggestions

imho the head needs to be gone through by a machine shop, just like we talked about.

I wouldn't take parts from a perfectly good head but that's just me; I'd keep it as whole as possible to get the most resale value out of it.

You are bordering on the line of 'doing it wrong' so be very careful. Remember to keep it simple.

Speaking of headgaskets, you might want to look into how you run an IX head on an VIII block, I'm pretty sure you just use the IX headgasket but I do not recall for sure.
