I had a similar problem with something getting into my head and trashing one chamber. I needed a valve job, hone on the cylenders and new intake valves cause whatever it was bent one. The gouges can be repaired, it'll get a light touch up to take the rough edges off, but since it was in the chamber, there shouldnt be any problem with the heads sealing again. I think you have cylender wall damage, but if you dont you're extremely lucky! To see that something rolled around in there doing that kinda damage to your head and not hurt the cylender wall is crazy!

When i looked at the cylinder walls i couldnt see any damage. Should i worried about the bottom end at all or is it all top end related? Someone asked to see the spark plug and this is the one that came out of the cylinder. Is this typical wear for a cylinder head with only 500 miles on it?

Yes that and the oil filter was cut open (both not by me but the shop that did the work) and there was no metal shavings or anything abnormal.
Best of Luck!
