I've got the head off and finally had a chance to have a look at it. For those that don't know it had blown its headgasket before i bought the car and pressurising the coolant.

I have a couple of concerns since stripping the head, so please can someone in the know confirm whether its worth getting a different head or not, here are my concerns:

Looks to be a chunk missing which may mean the head gasket won't seal the cylinder properly:


Also, there seems to be some scoring on both the camshafts and the cam carriers / head, they look worse in the pictures but can just be felt by running my nail over them:





Any advice appreciated.
Thanks for looking.
