yeah, he shut that thing right off after he seen it leaking coolant. With it getting as hot as it did I would check every mating surface on that block, and heads.

Milling will not bring the heads back true. You will wind up with a flat surface for the gasket, but could wind up with your cams binding badly in the heads. I would check them for tolerance, and if warped AND you want to save it/them have them heated and straightened, THEN milled. When you can buy spare heads for 500 apiece, I think that would be the route I would go.
