Right but keep in mind. This is a head gasket blow on 3k mile engine. On top of that they dont use a toyota head gasket, they used some other company for the gasket kit. It says nascar on it i dont know. But i dont think the hg they use has the gouges in it that toyota's gasket does. So to be honest the block surface shouldnt be that scored. I really dont think sending it out is necessary. Ill have to look when i pull it. im not gonna rebuild this thing if theres no internal damage, because those parts are still under warrenty and i kinda wanna keep that warrenty just for a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Even if you borrowed one, you still need to source some lapping compound.
If I was faced with your situation, I would pull the block, strip it and send it to a quality machine shop and have them deck it. Then build the snot out of it, just like you listed all those parts. Yes, I know its easier said than done, and I know the cost involved, but thats what I will be doing if my 7M ever takes a dump.
