rusty exaust ports.

[32special]

The mating surface on my 2x2 intake are slightly pitted. Tho ir looks like a sponge its not that deep, just looks ugly.

Areas of the block are pitted as well, mostly around the exhaust ports, and not as bad as the intake manifold.the intakes carb bases are also pitted.over all both the intake and dual exaust are in pretty good shape.
I eventually plan on milling tge pitted surfaces smooth to be ran with out a gasket, like intended from the factory.
Could I use a copper gasket set for now?, or perhaps the ones that were supplied with the BEST gasket set?

Since the head is already off why not take the parts to a machine shop and have the work done now. Save you from having to disassemble it again. They can remove the broken bolt also, plus the copper gaskets are around $50 and you can put that towards the machine work.
