I THINK I KILLED THE 340

So machine shop has not a clue what the actual deck height is? When I had my 340 block machined they stamped 9.60 on the pad by distributor. 9.60 is the spec deck height. Whats the deck height of your block now? If they needed to deck below spec, you should have got a phone call hey we don't wanna machine it below 9.60 cause thats under spec height?
