So the bottom of the motor is already done correct? If so then just proceed with the build and do a flush once installed and running. That is the only choice I see other than breaking down the block to bare and tanking it.
When I pick it up it will be still a bear block. Only bearings in it will be my new "high performance" cam bearings. (fell for buying more expensive cam bearings) No crank. I will just coat all my freshly machined surfaces with petroleum jelly.
BTW, what do they do to the bottom of the block to correct it? Do they rebore the main saddles?
I thought they just shaved the deck to correct the relationship between the deck and the main bores. Clearly I am not totally clear on what they do when correct decking and squaring the block.
