[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 15729936, member: 124025"] When I blew my head gasket it was between cylinders and there was some flame cutting of the head surface and I presume the block deck surface too. In order to deck the block, it would have required a complete disassembly of the short block. I figured if I went that far, I'd just get a new 5.8 aluminum block and fill it premium parts. If you had decent compression, chances are you're not getting any flame cutting and may just get by with a gasket. However, I'm not sure the engine won't have to come out to do that. Then you have to hope the block or the head surfaces aren't warped from overheating. [/QUOTE]
