92 LX, 1.5 Blown Head Gasket
Overheated & blew head gasket due to stuck thermostat. My non-dealer Honda mech says the block is warped just barely out ofthe spec recommend to have it milled before replacing the gasket. However, he says that the risk is low it will cause an issue. My gut says no way. Any "experts" out there willing to make constructive suggestions.

I'm no expert!! But itreally depends how much you want to spend to get it done correctly and how much does car is worth. If the cost of repairing the damage is a whole lot more than replacing you motor, you may want to get a replacement motor. You're pretty much at his mercy if he said the block is out of spec. I would hate to spend all that money and have a headgasket problem if you decide not to mil the block. Usually the head gets warp but at extreme overheating thecylinder sleeves will actually sink. I currently have a slight coolant problem. I probably replace my motor because I have a whole bunch miles on the block.
