The President of our chapter suggested I get in touch with Paul Amansky or Terry McMannon about this issue. I could not figure out how to reach them so I am posting here.
I have a correct 427 block at Engines Limited (Randy Chapin)getting broached and stamped. During the stamping process he accidentally skipped the numbers stamp and hit it again with a hammer and it put two numbers stamps about 1/10th of an inch apart. He is suggesting to re-broach the pad then stamp again. He cannot deck the block because there is not enough metal there and the result would be some sort of shim between the block and head. This means he would have to cut the pad down then re-broach just it.
My concern is that this is not exactly proper for NCRS and I want one that is proper and correct.
I appreciate an expert opinion. You are also welcome to call me at 214.999.1200. This is my cell.
Thanks
