if the head is warped is there anything i can do that is less expensive than getting it machined? or should i just wait (i've got an ek for winter) and pick up a new engine in the spring? all help is greatly appreciated, this will be my first built project.

all you can do with a warped head is to get it machined.... Don't bother trying to use it.

Ah darn, looks like that engine's a goner, thanks for the prompt response. I can live with the '98 for the winter. Any engine suggestions for my 94 hatch in the spring? I'm limited to about $1500. Something good for a first timer, nothin too insane. Thanks again

Dealership, any auto parts store, ebay...
I prefer to buy an OEM head gasket off of ebay if you can find one since the dealership is expensive for parts.
Also you might want to check 1Aauto
They are our sponsor and have free shipping. I've bought parts from them and never been disappointed in the price and they ship fast.

just replace the rubber gasket between the head and valve cover, you could torque down the bolts after with a torque wrench (I think to 7lbs??) just dont strip the bolts...
you may just need to torque the bolts down, the gasket may not be bad.

I believe thats the case as they stretch when torqued down. Probably a good time to upgrade to ARP which are reusable... Ive heard of people using the same head studs, I'm not sure if there were repercussions...
someone who has done this will chime in, im sure
