I wouldn't let 'em deck it more than .020" total. Any more than that and you'll start having intake manifold fit problems.

If they say they'll make it right, ok, but I wouldn't take it sitting down.

Are you ready for this??

This cat went .050 over on the line bore....and at the last main..broke the carbide cutter off into it..

I had the just clean up the deck... and the guy set the butterfly wheel at .010...thats cool right... He came back after lunch and took .100 off the other side and couldnt remember what his angle setting was set at from the first cut...

So terry and I set in his office for about an hour... I think we came to an agreement?
I'll here from him tomrrow..after he sleeps on it..

And Terry Walters is a very Respected Race engine builder...has been for years...

It just goes to show you..anything can happen...By the way..That Machinist was fired in front of me!!
