Unless you checked it on the mill or using proper tools on the block you don’t know how tall the deck is.


Thank you for answer! My machinist check the decks for straightnes and say im not need to mill but he not check any deck height. I meassure all 8 pistons in different area using a steel ruler and a caliper and find them all be around 0.040" under so i know the deckheight is about .018" taller all over than it theoretical should be, i just wonder and thats why i ask if it is common and i have understand that its common the blocks are not straight all over but this one are straight, just slightly taller and in my case thats just good i belive because it keeps the compression down a bit.
