Okay so I took the head off my engine because the head gasket blew. It is the origional head gasket from when the car was sitting up for 30ish years.

I have gotten the head redone, and gotten all the parts i need to proceed with reassembly, but I see a little dip on the number six piston tunnel.

here is a picture;

So is this a problem? If so what do I need to do?

If the ring isn't going to get that high, smooth it off and run it.
