Definitly have the head pressure tested and surfaced.This will ensure that the head isnt cracked and has a truely flat mating surface.Get all gasket surfaces as clean as possible to help them seal properly, with no sealer used on the head gasket, just 2 dry. clean surfaces.
1995 1.8 liter
Head bolt torque- 56-60 ft lbs in order (see pic)
cam caps-100- 125 inch lbs in order (see pic)
timing mark alignment pics
It is always a good idea to look and verify timing marks before removing timing belt, just to falimiarize yourself with what you need to look like at reassembly. Have fun
