Default How serious is this scoring?
I am doing a heads and can build on my 99 camaro and noticed this scoring when removing the head gasket. I know scoring is a bad thing but how much is too much? Can I run this block or do I need to get it bored out? Any advice is appreciated thank you.

Can you catch it with your fingernail? If not, I'd say "ship it."

That looks like it would come out with a ball hone. Run it. If it was running with good compression before, it'll be fine.
