machining down the block?
took my block out of the wash and noticed a ding right on the top of the sleve, so i had it machined down....had to do almost 15thou to get it out (yes he did both sides the same)
just wondering if my valves will hit now? im putting it together next satureday but it would help me sleep knowing im still ok.
ive read about people taking off from the heads but never the block...how come?

Are you on KCL Forums?
In theory your compression will go up because you've decreased volume, Id measure how high your piston is going to come out of the block now, id be a bit worried about it running into the combustion chamber.

What rotating assembly do you have? You'll definitely want to measure the deck height and pick your head gasket thickness accordingly.
