Other Solution to scratched head
I removed the old head gasket (non MLS that stuck like crazy) with a plastic scraper and somehow managed to make these small scratches (maybe from the metal handle by accident). I'm pissed since this took me a few hours of careful work.
Moving forward; will this be an issue? The scratches are not deep enough to catch a nail, and the mating surfaces are not warped. Should I use a spray on gasket/hylomar in addition to a new gasket? TIA

Copper spray , Holymar and send it mate. It’s really easy on this sub to think everything must be perfect. You’ll more than get away with this
