If head is flat and the pitting does not extend outside of the head gasket line you should be right, if the pitting extends past the sealing ring of the gasket you may need to have the head repaired at a reputable head repairer, Regards Frank.

Thanks Frank, pitting is inside gasket seal, doing a full rebuild on the engine thus want to do a good job...Will check out repair option, head is not warped, checked it out cheers Dave
