Engine decking issue(help)

Gotchya. Ok, so have you stood there and watched your machinist measure it yet or is that the next step? Cause "somebody's" measuring wrong. If it's really that low, it's very likely been decked before. I've never seen one that low right out of the box. Course, there's always a first.
No i was going to stop by tomorow and see. But from the looks of it, it looks as if it has never been decked. I asked my machinist and he agrees.
