Landshark Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Just a note about stamping engines; Chevrolet used a broaching process to deck their blocks. This process is very different from the resurfacing machines used in most machine shops, which are usually rotary cutters, like a van norman. These machines leave a very different finish on the deck surface, which will be seen by those who know what to look for. I have had engine pads inspected for this by potential buyers. If somebody decked my block, I'd want to know about it. Years from now, it could cause problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 If your block engine ID stamped on the front of the block behind the alternator is gone, I would say your block has been decked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landshark Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 I was speaking hypothetically. My blocks are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
