My beater '66 hemi block is already .080" shorter than nominal, it needs further milling from some gouges in the deck. Some gorilla tried to pull out the 1/4" dowels with vicegrips & scarred it up. I haven't had the deck sonic'd yet, was just looking for some reference. Street use, standard head bolts/stud, stock iron heads. Back in the day a lot of guys cut the deck .100” without any problems after. That’s running in Super Stock at 12.5 - 1. Plain old steel gasket too.
