Its not about the looks, you will have full brakes even with zero vacuum. Way more pressure than the vacuum booster will ever get you even.

That would be the marks from the Plane that my guy at the Machine Shop uses to true and clean up the Deck..I guess you are a Machinest now..

@ looks like ***.. I guess you missed some pics cause the last time I checked it looked something like this..

I can always count on you to bring in the negative comments of ignorance, you'll never let me down.

Well those "plane" marks arent all directional the same, look at the right side they are horizontal and below the cylinder they are curved. If they are clear enough to see in a camera phone picture I can only imagine them in person.

What head gaskets are you using?

Cometic MLS .040" thick, 4.085" Bore.

It doesn't bother me what direction they are in.. the Deck is true and it's fininshed squared off..I do have multiple lights in the Kitchen too if that makes a difference..that would show the curves in it.

Seriously.. those scuff marks are horrible. No deck should ever look like that. Hopefully you won't be going down the same road as you did w/ that 402 while doing the facepalm... Did this shop also do your 402?

Hey merv, we can nickname your car "Scuff" now, because I'm sure that's what's going to happen to the back bumper from where you drag it down the track (via wheels up)!
