4-152 Head Gasket Change
I'm taking the head to be decked now, as the motor over heated and I want to be sure there is a flat mating surface. The HG was definitely leaking coolant around cylinders 3 and 4. While I have it apart though is there anything I can inspect on the bottom end? I wouldn't mind doing a full rebuild if it's needed, but don't want to touch the bottom end if I don't have too.
I also was considering porting and polishing the head for a little better flow, unless there are any reasons I shouldn't. Just want to make sure she's running healthy and breathing as good as she can.
