okay guys I have a resurfaced head and block but I have taken the head off about 4 times (and torqued down) and put about 30 miles at the most on the motor. I'm about to put a new HG because the one in there is leaking. Do you guys think I will need to resurface the head or should I be good?

As long as you didn't overheat it AND you let it cool down before tightening or loosening the head bolts, you should be good.
If you're using stock head bolts, I'd replace those!
They're not meant to be torqued over and over.

Its not a question, Do we think you need your head resurfaced.. You should take it to machine shop, and get checked. Straight edged or whatnot.

Better to be safe, not sorry.
