How about the piston top? Is it beat up also? If not, then the damage, whatever it was, has been repaired. That pock-marking conditon happens when something breaks and pieces get into the cylinder and the piston pounds it to bits. The pocks won't hurt the head, but a beat-up piston is cause for concern.
