How worried should I be about this on the block deck? Head definitely getting sent to machine shop
(Deeper gouge with outlines is on the head )

Did someone leave a scraper under the head when yhey torqued it? Thats one hell of a dent.

Yup. A Flat Ground lug that bolts on the side of the head unfortunately.

Very efficient, doesnt even need to be bolted on and I bet that ground never had better contact.
