The radial pitting around the cylinders is normal. It's from the metal ring on the head gasket getting crushed when you torque the head down. They should clean up when you have the head milled. If you have some deep pitting that you are concerned won't be able to be milled away, fill them with JB weld a day or so before you send it off and let the shop mill it smooth.
