So the other day while driving on the highway I blew a head gasket. The engine temp shot up so fast that the small heater hose going from the t-stat housing to the hard line blew apart. Since I have to pull the heads off to replace the gaskets is there anything else I should do or look for? The engine got pretty hot before I could pull over! I'm pretty sure I will have the decks milled to be certain they are flat but I'm wondering if there other things to do while the heads are off?
