Engine Deck specifications
Thanks for the input on the engine coming from Ford. Is the consensus on what the deck should be before it needs to be milled during the rebuilding process. Maybe that is the place to determine if there was some standards for how flat the top of the engine should be.

Re: Engine Deck specifications
I don't recall seeing anything written on this but would thing .006" would be a ball park figure?

Re: Engine Deck specifications
Thanks Jim, that was the number I had heard before. I am assuming it is a number that has become a standard from use by machine shops, rather than by any specification. My last engine has had about a 1/4 inch removed from previous surfacings and was curious at what point the shop decides that surfacing the block is in order.

Re: Engine Deck specifications
When I check heads, I like to keep the side to side at .002" or less and the end to end under.006". I would think block decks would be similar.
