OMC 115 Turbojet Head Damage?

What I found was a lot of dents in the top of the piston, as well as on the flat surface of the head near where the gasket sits. I will try to attach a photo. I am going to get a new piston, but my question is: Can the head be salvaged, or do I need to try and find a new one? thanks for any help! http://s1264.photobucket.com/user/tho...5.jpg.html

You might try and clean up the head( minimal grinding to smooth out) and make sure the head is flat across the gasket surface. BillD 1999 Dauntless 18' - 135 Mercury Optimax
