a complete upper engine job is really necessary. Ok,having head and ancillary components removed suggest not to go cheap and replace everything inside. But, like I did, try not to go mad with extra needed cares 'cause You should experience a never ending (+very expensive) road.
Agree with Abusot and Donald, if You go this way, hydraulic check for head cracks, resurface, new HG kit (including a set of 16 valve stem seals) check valve guides and valves status, and use the old style head bolts (these without washes). I always reused my old bolts without problems. When You're there inspect timing chain for stretching (check tensioner and, if necessary, replace timing chain with the incar procedure suggested by the good Townsend:despèite sprockets will remain the same...).Replace valve cover rubber seal too, inlet and exhaust manifolds, along with turbocharger (If present) aluminium seal at the end of exhaust manifold.
Reuse inlet and exhaust manifolds bolts simply lightly pressing them in a vise.
Hope this helps.
