Checking the head and deck surfaces with a straight edge is far from a complete teardown, you are removing the head to reseal it. You can check the head on the bench and the deck on the tractor. Use a 16 inch steel rule from a carpenters square at minimum to at least see if you detect anything warped grossly out of the ordinary. If either surface is warped severely you won't seal it for long or maybe not at all. Also look for pitting due to corrosion as others have mentioned. Also use thread sealant on any studs or head bolts that enter the water jacket.
I'm just hoping to insure you don't have to take it down a third time. As always, good luck with it.
