head resurfacing...whats the deal??

[eastcoastS14]

So I was replacing my Head gasket and I got into a jam where I just really didnt have time to finish it. I sent it out to a shop disassembled to have them machine the head and put the whole thing back together. The guy at the shop has been taking forever, like over a week since I dropped my car off saying he couldnt get to it cause he was out on the 4th and hung over, then because he was waiting to talk to the machine shop...He said that it would be done today, then I just called him and he said the guy who works at the machine shop is out til thursday....needless to say im getting pretty annoyed, my question is since Im using a felpro HG and the car only has 96k and supposedly only over heated on the previous owner once, then is it necessary for me to get the head resurfaced or should I just tell him to go ahead and replace the HG and put it back together so Im not waiting another week and a half or some bull shit
