On a '91 900 after 125K miles. Just the gasket was replaced. The mechanic checked the head for trueness and it was fine. Basically by taking an absolute straight edge and running it along the head.
I've always assumed that head would warp, and thus require machining, ONLY if there were a catastrophic overheating rather than just a leak.
