Necessary is a funny term in this group
If it's straight and true I'd leave it alone. If you do plane it you can use the stock gasket or order a cometic gasket of correlating thickness to amount removed to get it back to stock height/compression.
As to a valve job it would be somewhat dependent on miles and condition, oils use, your level of OCD, your budget. While it's off and you're in there is the time to do it and since it sounds like you didn't drive it before to know it doesn't seem like a bad idea. Mine is just now starting a small puff of blue smoke on first accell after cold start but I'm at 287k
Ngk are better than some other options but I'd almost be tempted to splurge (I know, easy to do with your $ from here) but I was sold when I replaced my original 95 wires in 2008. Was having no issues just doing a tune up at 200k mark. At least compare price to a denso set that might fall somewhere between but is OEM supplier.
Have a decent amount left in the budget. But prolly save that for a cvt rtt.
Got the head off! Thanks for the advise!
