Take a razor blade stand up on the sharp edge and start scrubbing it. The aluminum could be discolored a bit from the blown gasket. If its gasket youre scraping, that's a good thing, but if its discolored aluminum. ..not so good. Great example of an engine deck needing machinined. Its possible it may not need to be machined, but youre gonna have to get a straight edge and some shims on it.Tell us how far you want to take this. What vibe im getting is a simple headgasket swap...right? Im all about cost cutting and building smart. But judging by the blown gaskets, get the block machined too. Leave the bores alone, only a light hone. Grab some good piston rings and rebuild that boy!</blockquote>
