    Pulling engine possibly deck block

    Well I just ended up taking the head off anyway. lol. I guess i would rather throw a metal gasket on and do it right since i actually have the engine out. Thinking about maybe getting the block bored and throwing in some different internals

    Question on shaving the head.

    He told me that he had to take off as much as he was allowed. I guess he has some sort of reference book Thats able to tell him the maximum he can shave off. Damn. I really didnt want to have to pull the block out. I dont have the equipment to do that.
