I dunno, I've looked at my 1100 and it looks like that head could be off in less than 4 hrs of work. Don't have to pull the engine!! Just the fuel tank, radiator, alternator, etc. All easy to get to. $111 for a gasket, and maybe $75 to have the head resurfaced, and then maybe 6 hours, lets say 8 to reassemble...throw in a few extra bucks for a gasket or two, and the project is over and done with. Good to go for years with few worries.
Otherwise, it's the very REAL possibility of permanent head or block damage...
My vote is to bite the bullet and do the job right.
