I'm not sure about anything. :-) I looked thru the receipts from the
machine shop and couldn't find anything. I do remember I was a bit shocked
when the machine shop told me how much was removed. I did ask about the
possibility of piston - valve collision. And whether I would need shorter
pushrods.
It is a 1500 block and head. In fact Joe, I think it's the block I bought
from you. Maybe I can figure a way to measure the head while on the engine,
any ideas ?
