A four pot will at least want to be checked its flat and hasn't got any cracks.

Always use new head bolts if you have used the old ones then they might have lost there tension, they'll still be tight but lose if you follow

did it over-heat when it failed? Defo going to need new bolts, and since this will be the second HG, i'd get head skimmed.

Remember good coolant maintenance is critical on 4pot  :y
