I wouldnt use it until that gauge is out of it. But if the machine shop said it was ok, you could press your luck.

I'm leaving this open but if people start fighting, I'll lock it.

Re-machine the head man.

No I hadn't read it all the way through. I had been following loosely.
Unless you caused the damage the machine shop should repair the head.

I can't believe a machine shop would let you have it back with that gash in it.

Uhh, thats kind of important. Now you have to measure the head and compare to what it is stock. I would not do business with them anymore. Take it to another shop and have them look at the gash in the head and tell them to machine it more if they need to.

My machinist took his time with my parts and I didn't get all of my bolts back.

But the head looked sweeeeet. That gouge..., I couldn't lay it on an HKS MHG with good conscience. Definitely DO NOT take it back to the same machine shop.

Find another one. They will have to take it apart and redo it basically all again I would think. So you may as well concider a port and polish. It'll cost a little bit more but it should be well under and not over 500 bucks.

That way you'll feel better about the entire situation. I wish I would have done mine. I ported and polished the air intake. I used a dremel with the pencil grinder attachment and a bunch of flapper wheels. You can go to the nub with those things.
