1994 Ford Mustang 6 cyl Automatic 112000 miles

Last month I blew a head gasket. I have taken off the old gaskets and cylinder heads. I haven't see any damage to the block but the heads do have one or two hair line cracks. I have gotten replacement heads but do I need to take the block out too and get it inspected? It has already been a job and would like to keep it in. Like I said I have inspected it over and no visible cracks but if you suggest taking it out too and getting it magflex I will reluntently. LOL. Just looking for advise and suggestions thank you for your time.

I would suggest having it examined for cracks. You can take dye and try it yourself. Rub some die on it and wipe it off all the low spots will hold oil. This will not show very tiny fractures that expand when engine heated. Id throw it back together and check compression if all is good then your good to go. Save some hassle anyways
