Definitely get it machined, you may regret it if you don't.

Only use Victor Reinz head gaskets.

I never machined my heads. Just put them back on after cleaning them
with carb cleaner.

I am at 10,000 miles now on my new head gaskets.
From 96,000 to 106,000
Time elapsed one year 9 months.

Maybe 500 to 600 engine starts - or temp cycles.

thanks for the advice, I've heard a few victor reinz recommendations so ill probably go with that.

Are the AB and RN kits from a manufacturer or do they make their own?

How about the brand for head bolts?

I already know ARB but they are like 180 dollars...
FCP euro is 20
I found some AB bolts for 40

ill find a shop here and see what it runs.After googling to find it is generally 40 or so a head, I would definitely get it done.
I was thinking it would cost an additional 200 dollars, but 80 bucks would be fine.
