I took my head to the machine shop just to have it checked, as I was doing a head gasket just because I had the engine out. The machine shop owner said that it wasn't perfectly flat, and over time, all heads begin to warp from heating/cooling cycles. After 160K, it was getting close to the edge of its tolerance.
I figured for the cost of having it done, it was good insurance, and now I should be good for at least another 160K.
