Just make sure they check that head for trueness (flatness) and cracks! If the head gasket blew and it was run very hot. It's a relatively common occurrence -- gasket blows due to loose bolts then runs hot and warps head just enough it won't seal again wihtout a slight shave. Remember to retorque that head every other year and you'll not have that problem!
