just replace any gaskets you can. i would also suggest pluggin the holes for the EGR and replacing the hard to get hoses at the back of the head.

my list to get done with the head off:
-plug all EGR holes
-machine head
-new valve seals
-helicoil exhaust manifold studs
-new hoses at the back of the head
-new nuts/bolts/studs
-drill and tap exhaust mani for 1/4" NPT plug (for EGT sensor)
-strip and paint exhaust mani and heat sheilds

im ditching the EGR, and might be making a forward facing intake mani (still not sure, dont have the right tools right now)
