salvagable, is the repair cost worth the value of the head? Call around to machine shops see what the going rate is. Speedfactory is in Tacoma, they do cylinderhead work.

type-r head. if it was b16 probably not worth it
I have a welder that can weld it up for me I just have to clean it up myself.
anyone have a picture of a deshrouded? combustion chamber that I can do on this one to smooth out the small chips?
I mean. how far can I go with dremel before it will change the flow/swirly dramatically?

i was also thinking of warming up the head and bump all the small dings flat with a hammer and a punch that way i don't have to take out a lot of material.

no need for that its already cleaned. just need to take it to welder.
I wanted to see what people say if I should spend money fixing it since its a type-r head. I have the complete motor. block is already at the machine shop

Ultimately it's like I said, how much will it cost to repair vs replace. If you take it to a real porter that would offer welding and de-shrouding as services anyway you are going to get a real idea of the cost.
The head is arguably the place Honda's make all their power, get it done right don't home garage diy it.
