Body Damage is Cool

Thanks for heads up. Shop planned .007 to get it flat. Low spot was around #4 cylinder - the problem.

Machine shop said .007 will not affect valve/piston top clearance or head bolt length enough to matter. I have new head bolts coming as I don't feel comfortable torquing these again. Will measure new against old as well as measure block holes with depth gage.
