Commented on the other board but basically it is the head gasket sealing area nick and the valveseat nick that worry me, the intake port nicks could seal with a little silicon but since you need to bring them to a machine shop anyway get all the mating surfaces done and a valvejob.
those little nicks arent going to really do anything as far as sealing up. I would highly suggest you get a valve job and have them checked out by a professional. But be ready for critics

I would mill them anyways to get them back to straight.

Radd--- What kinnda of exhaust are you running.
your car sounds real good.
In the very end of the video is when you can hear it, kinnda gets drowned out buy the camera car as you pull away .

other car ran 8.1 @89 mph (think that was the time) with a 1.8 60 ft
Thanks for the compliment on the exhaust. i have pacesetter 1 7/8 long tube headers into a 3 " collector to a 3" y pipe into a cutout and out the back no muffler no cats.

Looks like a ok job, you might need to get the flanges milled because of the damage to the intake side, as far as the valve seats you are going to need to get a valve job, but you did a pretty good job,
you could probably go further on the combustion chamber, a little tip when you are doing the chamber is to put some old valves in the seats that way you dont damage or groove them accidentally.

The only problem I have with just lapping the valves is that it is not 100% effective in MOST cases. Not saying in yours, did you have the seats and valves checked to make sure there is no leaks ? I really hope I am not coming off as an *** I am just curious. I tried to just lap the valves on some heads I worked on but they did not mate up perfect and air was coming thru.
IMO I wouldn't do to much to the chambers maybe just cartridge roll it, but not to much as to changing the ratio. I agree though all in all not to bad for a home job, as long as the flow characteristics are good and the numbers do not fall off your in the clear.
