Here you go. You can see the pad on the deck surface. It's a little wider than the edge of the deck on that area. The last picture shows how it stick out past the head gasket. It sticks out from under the head the same way. That pad WILL be there. It may be blank if the block's been milled. It's a "GOOD" machinist's practice to record any id numbers and re-stamp them. Unfortunately, true "GOOD" machine work is a dying art.
