Sujit, 

If you have the block partially dismantled and on an engine stand, and it's in 
that kind of condition, I highly recommend completing the job.  Take it all the 
way down, then drive it to a reputable machine shop for cleaning.  Have them 
check for cracks, and have them check to see if the head surface needs decking. 
 

Do it right the first time and enjoy it trouble free for years.  ...Well, 
unless one enjoys occasionaly pauses from the vicissitudes of life alongside 
the highway of happiness, ehr...with your cell phone out to call AAA.
