If the heads are warped even slightly the new head gaskets won't seal properly.
Cool thanks what's a good estimate of what that cost on a 4cyl
Best to get estimates from some local machine shops. I don't know what current pricing is like. (Have not needed that kind of service in a long time.)

After a blown head gasket(s), I always get the heads rebuilt and resurfaced so they are at least as good as new. Not doing this is a real risk for future failure. Please consider using new ARP head studs(bolts) to install the heads.
