Don't know why anyone would ever buy one of those blocks. Its gonna take years for that block to become perfect. Aftermarket LSx block, thats funny.
Give it a good look over as with any block.. Sure some are just cosmetic casting flaws, but they give you a good idea of what to look for around the whole block. My machinist found that the mains were all over the place on sizing and needs a good line hone, along with being decked due to the driver’s side having two sleeves protruding a little too much above the deck. So make sure to do a very good inspection and double and triple check everything.

There is a few things here and there on the warhawks. A few bolt holes do have minor holes where it looks like it was thin and the tap went through.
I believe on of the headstud holes are like this by the driver side up by the water pump.

I just wanted to share what I found during my inspection, as instructed by world upon arrival. These appear to be cosmetic, although I would stress that everyone performs a though inspection double checking everything. Cosmetic flaws could be catastrophic if they are in the right places.
I will have the block fully prepped on a 5 axis CNC.

I have seen this on 2 blocks, one short and one tall deck. Nothing junk about it, just a tad thin at the bottom of the bolt hole so the tap pushed fluid out. Kind of like putting head bolts in without blowing out the holes.

Is that bad quality control by World? I mean he mentioned that they include instructions that say to inspect the block if i am not mistaking, why wouldnt they look for that kind of stuff? I mean i wouldnt want to spend all that money and get a block with imperfections cosmetic or not.
