I wouldn't risk plus you'll have most the motor tore down anyhow might as well have it decked

Yea if you are going to replace with another MLS gasket then both the head and block need to be decked. Also, if the machine shop who does this for you is a good one, they will require the internals to be removed. So while they are in there, I would have them break the glaze on the cylinder walls, and replace the rings on the pistons. Other then that, make sure the block gets decked with the rear timing cover torqued to it.

Seeing as this is up here, I do have a question.. I'm about to Go MHG as one thing I do NOT want to think about after My rebuild is "If thats the HG" So my question is this, How Thick? 1.4mm or 2.0mm? It go's without saying I'll be having both the bock and head sent off to be renewed, And My best guess is the 2mm gasket but I wanted to be sure. Thanks.
