Little dent in deck of ls2
 

So I bought a forged ls2 short block a while ago. I must of hit it with the handle of my vise . It's not very deep . Should I try to fill it ? Leave it? Do you think a mls gasket will seal it properly?

take a flat file and knock down the high spots and it will be good to go.

Just what I was hoping to hear lol. thanks

It's ruined...I'll pick it up so you can can start again.



Seriously just do what Stacy said.

lay a gasket on there to be sure but yeah it looks like its outside the fire ring

and if you file it, just draw file it

WHY is this in Forced Induction??

Well because it's a boosted application and I fig I would get a better answer here .

coz we build way more motors than the built NA motor nerds in the gen 3 internals section

The one wont affect anything, ck the one close to the water jacket and see where the gasket seals.
As said, knock down any high spots. I wouldn't be against a little JB Weld in the one close to the water
jacket just to fill it. I have run some with pretty nasty decks and they sealed, lol.

Facts lmao. :D

:secret2::secret2::secret2::secret2::secret2:

NO ONE SAW THAT

I saw they had some high heat JB weld (450*)
Not sure how hot it gets there ?
