Hi Arnie,
are there engine reconditioners by you,
it may be worth letting a engineer
see it and check it over properly,
if you reuse normal oe spec gaskets you may be ok,
or you may have a big leak on your hands pretty soon

when i had a head go on a 4x4 cos sierra,
i had the head skimmed AND made sure that baby was
100% then put it back together with gpA headgasket kit
with cometic reuseable gaskets.
i don't use my cosworths much so a week or so later,
when i took it out i was less than impressed to see more condensation
coming out of the exhaust, went straight back to my mates garage
where he diagnosed water still in the exhaust from when it had gone
pop, i got told to drive it more so i did and it was spot on,PHEW!
