My 82 air cooled Westy has had a blown head gasket on the number 2 cylinder for about a year (not driven much). The bus was also overheated a couple of months ago (bad thermostat, don't ask...). I have pulled both cylinder heads, and they look pretty good. I am worried that the heads may have warped when they were overheated. I plan to bring them into a machine shop to check for warp and have them resurfaced if necessary. I haven't been able to find any specs in the Bentely about how much can be shaved off the heads.
