Is my head salvageable

Just pulled this head off a k20a2 that I just picked up to use on my k24/k20 build. Just let me know if you think it can be saved or if it is junk.

Nothing wrong with that. It isn't pretty but shouldn't affect anything. While you have it off, clean it, put new valves in it, new valvejob and surface and run it.

thats not going to hurt anything, just make sure that nothing like that is on the valve seats, which I dout it will. Clean up the head and new valve job, new seals then your ready to go

Thanks guys, the head is going to be completely built now that you mention it. I was actually going to get into touch with you guys at 4piston since I have started seeing some of your work.
