Block Surface Scratch

I'm talking with a shop now to resurface. Would I have to clock the timing gear? I've read some don't clock when installing a 2 and 3mm headgasket and do not have problems. I wouldn't think I would need to touch anything.

Only if the chain stretches, because if you compensate for decking the block with a slightly thicker head gasket it should even out. My biggest worry is using a thicker head gasket changes the quench area, but shouldn't be an issue with the thickness increase we're talking about here.

Devcon. Aluminum Putty (F) ITW Polymers Adhesives
This is what we use at the Honda Engine Plant in Canada for small imperfections. It is 2 part, mix then fill in the defect allow it to cure and use a fine oil stone with oil to make it flush with the gasket surface.
I would get a large fine oil stone like the width of the block or close to it and gently stone the whole surface it will smooth out imperfections and highlight areas in need of repair. Make sure to clean up the oil from the stone after.
The scratch across the top of the cylinder is very likely to leak.
Hope this helps.

Kinda like when people say "don't resurface the flywheel cause honda doesn't say you can" Yet there is no logical reason why taking .005" off a flywheel would matter....because it doesn't. Gotta use some common sense.
