Good point, I'll have to look at how close they are now.

I'm not pulling the motor to get decked with a smooth finish, so cometics wouldn't work for me right? And if I used one with a factory compressed thickness I shouldn't have any problems with my pushrods right?

I'm not sure where it is blown out. Just seems to be pushing coolant, smoking some and overheating quickly. Can you run cometics without refinishing the head and deck surface? I thought I was told cometics require a super smooth finish ( I could definitely be wrong lol)

Going to start an engine build soon. Stock displacement 440 built for boost. Would love a Mega Block but price and availability takes that out of the equation. I am no expert, just looking for advice and a recommendation if anyone has one. I'm located in Glen Burnie, Maryland just south of...

I only saw like 1 or 2 cars on my way up Saturday morning, expected to see more
