yeah the headgasket should be fine, but you could spray some copper spray on there just incase of little dents.

it comes in a spray can. you can buy it at any parts store (advance auto etc.) it just fills in the little imperfections on the gasket. it doesn't beef it up or anything unless you spray a **** load on it but you shouldn't do that. your only suppose to spray 2 thin layers on eash side.

it's called copper gasket spray i belive,
