i really really appreciate all the advice and help,there arent any gouges in it,the dents are more rounded,i dont know how the guy did it.im going to have the shop mill it down as far as possible while being safe and then jb weld whats left,unless my shop guy advises me differently. actually im really worried about milling period on the cylinder,because milling the head wouldnt bring the piston higher up,it would just make the dome over the cumbustion chamber shorter,if i milled the cylinder,it seems as though it would most definitely slap the head.....hmmm,lets see what my shop guy has to say,ill let you guys know how it all goes down. DO YOU KNOW THE NAME OF THAT GASKET SEALER YOU USE?
