I wouldn't be too concerned, oven cleaner has a tendency to do that to some extent. As long as there's no pitting on the cylinders deck surface, it'll be good.I would pull the studs though, and lap the cylinders deck surface, and the head as well...just to be sure everything is nice and flat, so you don't have any blown/leaky head gasket issues.
Hey Fox, thanks for the suggestion and sorry to get back to you so late. There is no pitting from what I could see. Is there a way I can lap the cylinder surface at home?
A new OEM boss is heavily overpriced, as well as the whole kick start mechanism.
Could you get the kick start leaver welded up and grind and file it back to match the steel part?

as alward25 suggested, 10w should do you just fine.you can always play with oil level heights(to some extent),and the rebound/compression clickers once you get some riding time on it to see how it feels.
