machining mistake

It has been a while since I changed my head gasket (about 10 years ago at around 142,000 miles) but I don't recall any issues with the timing cover. However, I did not take anything off the block.

But I did shave a little off of the head!

Does that surface seal combustion, coolant or oil? If so, than proceed with care. Otherwise this should work!
