Default Knick in head
Just picked my heads up from getting surfaced. No milling or anything just a clean and polish. On the way home I had to lock the breaks cause some dbag almost hit me in the car. The heads in the trunk shifted and hit one another.

needless to say I know have surface scratches and a gouge in the head.

can I run em? Copper spray on head gasket?

Send 'em. They're fine.
Maybe take a file to the nick and get rid of any raised metal.
That is all.....

Full send! Especially if running factory style MLS gaskets.
