Made a very smooth surface and you can hardly tell where the grooves were. Running composite gaskets on it now and no problem at all.

But please sure to post results with hi resolution pictures of the carnage so we can all enjoy the fruits of your effort Fred, you can lead a horse to water, but you can;t make him drink.
