Plus once you've got the head off, you can check the bores for wear/ovality. If it is only losing that small amount, and runs fine, get the cylinders compression tested while the head is still on, which will give some indication of ring condition. What mileage has it done?These engines don't wear badly, and can achieve high mileages, the weak point is the original head gasket, refitted with the improved type, it should not be a problem again.
