Cyrille,
I wouldn't change a head gasket on a leaky motor without checking the
flatness of the head. Its pretty cheap to have the head planed just enough
to guarentee a perfectly flat surface before reassembly. Visual examination
for a crack, at the least, with magnafluxing being a darn good insurance
policy.
