I did not deck the block. At the top of the stroke, the pistons are even
with the deck. The block is flat, so no material was removed.
To cut down to get rid of the recess, I would have had the pistons
standing clear of the block by more than .020 (if I recall correctly).
I think this is why many builders use the early blocks, it's a lot easier
to get a flat surface when you start off completely flat.

Nope - I'd have to get rid of a lot of material to get rid of the recess.
This is a job for some steel rings. Perhaps my use of the term "o-ring"
was not well chosen.
