blah, another question.

lets assume my head is nowheres near warped....like 1 thousandth or whatever its called. when replacing the headgasket with arp studs, the mechanic wouldnt have to mill the head or anything right? that would cost upwards of like 1500 bucks....and im seeing posts all over saying around 800 for labor (not including parts) for replacing the headgasket, making no mention of milling the head. and they didnt have a BHG, either, it was just being cautious of a problem that could possibly occur.

edit: wtf, cant ever NOT edit a post...planning on using HKS MLS headgasket with arp studs.
