Is it possible for the up and coming gearhead like myself to check the head for warpage or is it too percise that a machine shop has to do that? It would be easier if I could check myself, but the closest machine shop is probably only about 15 minutes away from me tops, so it ain't a big deal. I'm going to take pictures of what it looks like in there and the cylinder walls and all and post em so you guys can tell me a little about what kind of condition my engine block and all is in. That would be a big help to me in deciding the future of it since I don't know much about telling the condition of it. Thanks for the feedback.
