Hey ya'll,
I recently bought a mitsubishi MLS head gasket and some ARP head studs for my 1991 talon TSI
I was wondering if it's absolutley necessary to resurface the block when using this head gasket? I used a scraping tool to get the old composite gasket off of the block and am taking the head to a machine shop to make sure it's not warped.
Can I get by with the block not being resurfaced if I make sure I get the old composite gasket off and used a straight edge and a feeler gauge to make sure it's not warped at all?
thanks,
John
