1a) how is this reconditioned... it looks clean, but I see nothing that speaks to any reconditioning

2) the bashed corner at the back of the head... will need to be machined flat. The head looks to be original(uncut), measure the thickness it should be around 115.9mm to 116mm thick.

3) the close up view of the exhaust seats shows some pitting, recommend 3 angle.

That thickness measurement is very useful when buying used heads.
Is there a specific place to measure this on the head and are both
types of 16v heads the same measurement ?
