If you have to it take apart,then put back together stronger!
Yes do the whole engine if lots of miles on it!
And not stock parts!! :mrgreen:

If the head gasket is blown, it's always a good idea to have the head surfaced.

Also, I had the head on my 20R machined for oversized valves, with mild porting, and a mild cam, and it made a big difference.
If you can find it cheaper, I can fix it.
