I never had a block shot peened before- this 400 block had about three gallons of hemi orange spraypaint on it so my machine shop said peening was the way to go to get it clean. The block is impressive looking like a new casting but the surface is definitely rough compared to a fresh cut deck- more like as cast type finish.
SO - the decks were not cut after the airless shot cabinet? Did they protect the main bores and lifter bores?
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
