Cast heads and doing top end band aid for a couple years knowing later the rear freeze plugs etc will go as one on the drivers side has went which is my reason for not resurfacing and saving that meat for later when I rebuild.

Machine shop guy said "i never saw heads that have been ran and didn't need resurfaced"

should I insist on them being checked and only do it if they need it? I implied that but he was pretty set on resurfacing them so I just said "Ok"

thoughts?
