what needs to be replaced if rotor housing is scored/scratched???

What do i need to replace when i replace a rotor housing??
sorry for noob questions but i need opinions...
is it just the coolant gasket/ring, or is there something else....
the motor was just rebuilt about 2,300 miles ago by dave gibson from speedmachine in cali, but somehow i think i got debris of some sort and scratched the front rotor housing....... SH*T happens!!!
i was driving in an industrial park at the time when it happend...and yes i did have a air filter on...i always use it....

the rotor and seals and everything are perfect....
and the compression was around 60 psi consistently...

thanks in advance,
Tony

If you wanted to be cheap you could just replace the housing and the gaskets.

I would check your rotor a little closer just to make sure. I would also replace the apex seals on that rotor at least.
