Yeah maybe I am a little lost. I'm not a mechanic. I don't know what you mean by shaved down exactly. The cylinder heads? I believe they were.

I think what you are saying is a factory gasket is okay as long as the inside of the engine was essentially new.

Okay, what would be an estimated cost to rebuild the engine as you suggest with an aftermarket gasket? And if I stayed the way it is and the gasket blew, what are the ramifications?
