How much was it off?

Curious why didn't the engine builder check the deck height? I'd think that would be standard with any build, deck height, piston to deck, if it was off it would be easily detected I would think.

pass side was about .010 higher than the drivers side
alot of engine builders dont have the proper equipment to accurately measure deck height.The cnc def helps when it come to accurate measurements.You would be surprised how many blocks i find with the deck height off after they were already decked somewhere else.

that block comes with a semi finished deck height .020 over a "stock" LS motor. It's meant to be decked.

Yes the stock LSx comes with a 9.260 semi finished height. I told the previous machine shop to make it a stock deck and he said that he took .020 off each side but he did not use a CNC.

This motor should be about as tough as any LSx on the market. We're using the strongest crank available with probably the best rotating assembly for this setup.

All of the pics I have were labeled confidential but here is one that wasn't marked.
