If you do go backto the machinist, take along a head gasket so he can see where the high pressure seal ring goes. If scratched through this area, a cut may be advisable.

Re: [MBZ] Head gasket sealant?
Depends on how deep it is. Also, head gasket sealants are not usually effective - although I;m sure there may be some that work - perhaps someone has some 1st hand experience? Most head gaskets have a copper sandwich that is supposed to take the shape of any imperfections and prevent gas, under pressure, from escaping. It's a very difficult environment for sealers to survive. I suggest you ask your machinist to take a look and advise you - if it were me and there were any question, I'd have the surface touched up - you;ll be doing a lot of work to put the engine back together and building it on a imperfection may cost you money time. The machinist will also be able to advise if there are any Mechanics in a Bottle which may work.

Received my machined block and head for my W123 300D and unfortunately managed to scratch the surface of the block which interfaces to the head in a few places during transportation. Should I just leave it or can/ should I apply a sealant to the affected areas?

A lot of guys swear by Hylomar. YMMV. Used it on my 2.5DT, good results so far. Fred Moir Lynn MA Dieselitis Maximus - Food fight? Enjoy some healthy debate in the Yahoo! Answers Food Drink QA.

I grew up an ardent patriot and defender of the united states as the greatest nation the world has ever know. now i grow more and more disgusted to be an american every single day. my country is just a passport and a shakedown.
