How does my head look?

How does my head look?
Finally got the engine dropped yesterday. Today I disassembled the top end.
First, I think I'm going to need new heads/cams/etc due to this:
There's so much metal ground away that I can't remove the lifters from that cylinder [X(]
Next, the gunk in my cylinders!
And finally here's some shots of the bottom of the heads and the head gasket.

RE: How does my head look?
I don't know what happened to the engine, bought the bike as a project to work on and it needs a bit more work then I originally anticipated.
Haven't had a chance to check the head with a straight edge yet, but based on how the headgasket looked I think it is warped, or it wasn't torqued down right or something.
And yea, it looks like when it was running it was burning a decent amount of oil along with it, so I'm going to keep digging deeper and see what I come up with.
