chip in head
im looking to get a new set of heads for a sbc build im doing, and found a good set of heads within my price range, the guy says they were rebuilt 100 miles ago and were good, but says there is a small "chip" in one of the heads, not a crack, a chip
how bad is this and should i still buy the heads? if need be would i be able to stick weld this and machine it back to stock? or would it be ok to leave be... heres a pic

Re: chip in head
If it's not too deep and there's absolutely no sign of cracking, I might smooth it out a bit to prevent hotspots and not worry about it.
