Put feeler gauges under the edge while holding it down to check flatness. Repeat across, and diagonally. (and other places as well) If .003" blade will go under, I would machine it with a truing cut, not more than .010" If between .002 and .001, and tapered across more than 6 inches, I would run it. Use coppercoat on the gasket, and torque it in 4 stages to full torque. Run it till at operating temp, then retorqur adjust the valves and be happy. Jim
