cometic head gaskets

This is a question on what to do about this problem . If its found that the surface finish is too rough , what can be done to correct this or make due with it . I am thinking that the engine has already been setup with the correct deck height and combustion chamber volume so if the block was re-decked, to correct the surface finish, then it might not pass tech , same with the heads . Can some sort of sealer be used like Permatex Copper Gasket Sealer ? I recently disassembled an engine with Cometic head gaskets and there was no gasket sealer on the head gaskets . Is this normal for Cometic gaskets ?
