Which leads back to the first question, is there anything I should do to it while I have it out other than replace the head bolts with the arp head studs?
Hi! following cre's advise I would recommend checking the valve seating , reface the valves and seats if required , mine were very pitted and needed re-cutting .
My head was very pitted with corrosion and had to be welded and skimmed . everything you do at this point is always a good thing for ease of mind , preparation is 99% of a good job done.
