[TR] How smooth does the face of a block really need to be

[Chris Simo]

abrasive roloc discs or those plastic finger discs?

if you've been using abrasive discs, you're probably already in somewhat
muddy waters.

I'd get it kissed at the machine shop as I tend to worry about stuff like
that before and while on long drives....

That being said, I once sanded the head and block of an old chevy luv with
a DA after it had stranded me with a blown head gasket.  Made it home and
drove it that way for 3 years until I sold it.  Still worried about it when
I got far from home...
