atleast go take it to a shop and have them shave it just a bit to make sure it is perfectly flat, if it is fucked up just a little bit your hg will blow super fast

have the block decked too

You didn't say it was a 94 H22 and that wouldn't matter anyways. You can deck any block.

I would get the head surfaced anyways, just to be safe. You have a nice clean surface on the block, why not make the head the same way? It would eliminate any possible problems with a blown head gasket, ar at least greatly reduce them.

Re:Resurfacing the head?

still, the fact that the h22 is closed deck means nothing in this thread. As jigga mentioned, any block can be decked (meaning taking a little off the top)
