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

[Wbeech@flash.net]

A mechanic I used takes heads or manifolds out into the concrete drive and grinds them smooth.

I would still use him but I have moved.

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...
