Default Re: How to service the heads with no parts??

"How would I have the block checked for flatness if still in the vehicle?"

A good old-school mechanic might have a better answer here, but....
A good solid straight-edge laid on the block face with some thin feeler gauges and a good light source may prove fruitful in this endeavor.
This kind of special tool a good should have- it has to be flat and rigid- we're not talking about a steel ruler here.
