I recently blew my sr's metal head gasket - should i get my head rebuilt with new seals because of the anti-freeze/oil mixture being in the head, exposed to the seals?

Thanks, Ryan

I would get the head cleaned and measured to check if it's still at tolerance levels. Head warpage can happen with blown head gaskets...
