Well yeah, I had that same shop straighten out a previously botched decking. That's what I brought it in for. The two decks were declining in opposite directions and also were not at the correct angles from side to side and one deck was lower than the other. I mean it couldn't get any worse. When I originally put the engine together, the pistons were a bit down in the holes, so I didn't care about them being a little uneven. But with the straightening out of things, they popped up. So now with an .039 FellPro I was rapidly running out of Squish. So things became a lil tense on the morning of the reassembly,lol.At least the intake fit now,yahoo.....
