Its always better to have it checked and re-surfaced. Unless its already been done a few times before.lol.. then you'll just need to pick up a new head. which aren't really that expensive on here. I've found a few for around 50 bucks before..

Depending on the mileage I would go ahead and do the timing belt, tensioner and water pump.

And like someone else said. Address the overheating issue, because it would suck to replace the head gasket and resurface the head just to have it all happen again once it re-overheats.

if your in Gwinnett PM me and I can give you the number of the machine shop I've used in the past...
