no you dont "have too do anything"!!!! you do "more" labour later.

AT MINIMUM

deck a head = $50-$75
good steel headgasket, 2-3 layer ones $45 & $11.99 for PERMATEX "copper" head spray
$15 CT - Fail Safe - winter thermo.
clean the eacv back manifold - $ 6 <--- use BRAKE KLEEN at least
breifly clean up exhaust ports on head with a fairly abrasive scoth-bite pad. <----dont PUST TOO HARD DOWN.

im sure im missing a few minor ones, but atleast that ^^^unless you want even more headache when you first start it up!
