Thanks for all the advice after I overheated my car and warped the head. Fortunately I did not crack it. It was .009 off and I had it resurfaced. I got everything back together runs great and no other issued occurred from the overheating. Now I can enjoy my driving season!

Just out of curiosity, how did it warp? Did it twist or go sway/hump backed? And did you need to mill the top as well?

My heater control completely failed and dumped nearly all my coolant. The ends raised on the head and the middle was low.

Exactly what happened to me with that POS heater valve.
I now have a ball valve.
