GVR-4 Head surface ok?

So I did the oil mod and gouged the head a bit. At a guess it 20 - 30 thou deep. Head is going for full rebuild. Recoverable?

I’d fill it with a single tig bead before milling just to make sure the gasket seals the oil pressure. That nick is right where the gasket sealing happens.

Sound advice. A little aluminum puddle and it will buff right out.
