I have my cylinder block out at a shop right now to be bored, and they are currently waiting on a torque plate to be delivered before moving forward with the bore
Then the thought occurred to me, I haven't decked the block yet...I was planning on doing it myself, taking off about .003-.004 to remove a slight warpage on the outer edges, and also some gouges made by the head gasket.
Will this be a problem for the bore if the deck surface will be different on the assembled engine then when it was bored? I would think that the block would flex differently with the freshly machined deck, wouldn't this throw off the bore?
I'm thinking of telling them to bore it without the plate, whats your opinion on this?
Obviously the best thing would be to deck it first, and bring it back, but the shop is not nearby, it would a ton of driving for such a small detail.
