Is this Bad? TD5 cylinder

Hello again,
I've just taken 5 photos of inside the cylinder head where the injectors go, they have had the 'special tool' on them about 2 weeks ago, I've had the injectors removed again to send them away for testing, they are fine BTW. I've nothing to compare to so in the attached photos does the condition of the head look ok? Looks rough to me...

As long as those thin black lines aren’t cracks...

Looks fine, it does not need to be a smooth surface there, its normal.

Thanks Guys...

Are we looking at the injector seats or what? Do you mean the rough finish to the walls of the head itself, those are casting marks. Whole thing is aluminium alloy poured into a casting sand mould - it gets broken/blown out and rinsed when finished but the roughness you see is the impression of the sand!

Ok thanks, just worried as everyone keeps saying how difficult they are to seal/seat and the last garage took 5 sets of Genuine washers before he got them to seal... Cheers

Strange story I have done mine a few times, just get them clean and aneal the copper washers and should be no problem, look at my home made cleaning tool here
