I'm in the (very slow) process of restoring my '79 SC and need you guys to tell me if I should perform a deck height check or not. I'm getting ready to put my motor back together and got my heads back from refurb'ing at Ollie's. They did not take any material off of the mating surfaces and I am replacing the current Kolbenschmidt P&Cs with a new set of Mahle 9.5:1s. The mating surfaces on the block haven't been touched or altered either.
The most prudent thing to do before bolting it all back together would be to do a deck height check as outlined in Wayne's book but do you guys think it is really needed since no meterials were shaved off the heads or the block and the p&cs are stock replacements?

Any input would be greatly appreciated
