unfortunately i moved houses while my fd was in a million bits and my lower intake manifold got a little bit scratched. Can anyone tell me if these scratches are detrimental and will need the manifold to be skimmed? Im a little bit concerned with the scratch on the right in the middle photo.

 

Just needs to be cleaned and probably go over it with a Scotchbrite pad to get some of the marks from the old gasket off and get it cleaned up nice.
