It doesn't really costs too much to pull the head, but sure can lead to "price creap" [$50 spent doesn't make $100 more seem too bad, which doesn't $500 ect.]. I think the head gasket is under $50 and the whole top gasket set is under $100.

Even slightly beyond that, if you don't see any reasons that it may have to come all apart [hand hole gaskets are real cheap, if they even need to be replaced so you may as well peek inside], it cost nothing to try a little soaking time first.
If it doesn't cooperate, pull the head - and stop wherever your gut or checkbook lets or makes you! 8)
