Get the head skimmed mate don't f*ck about do it right do it once

Yeah do it right. Don't just go and get it skimmed straight away. Check it. if its true, don't skim it. Im sure half of the people on this forum just like pissing money down the drain with pointless head skimming!

Agree, if you clean it up properly and check if its true in all directions with a proper straight edge (front back, diagonal ..etc) then it should be fine to go back - especially if it hasn't seen any overheating. Unbolt when the engine is cold in the same sequence that you tighten to take the load off evenly.

However if you can afford it and want peace of mind, then you could ask an engine recon place to check and resurface if necessary.

I'd also re use headbolts too if they're within spec, no reason why you shouldn't.

Have fun with it, take your time, shouldn't be too bad of a job
