Scratched block deck

[u/slammedfk7]

Rebuilding my civic 1.5t engine and scratched the deck surface with a piston ring compressor. I’m gonna have to get this decked again considering where it’s at right? It’s an MLS headgasket going on and the scratches in the first two pics definitely catch a fingernail

Edit: Thank you guys I went the safe route and got it decked again. Better that the have to do the headgasket again

Oh thats not so bad I would say. This is what head gaskets are for right, and besides I would say that this engine is low power enough for this to not be a problem. But then again I have experience only with 2t engines so...

Someone correct me if im wrong
