Re: 70 LT1 pad
Jerome broach marks are front to back as viewed from the front of the car. If you go back and view the 2 photos I posted the one with the VIN look at the area just in front of the head and you will see some broach marks.
A factory grind out is when there was a mistake made in the stamping and the worker would remove the stamping and then re-stamp the block. In the photo I posted we believe this block had a problem after assembly and went back to the repair shop. Was disassembled and the block was reused. This would have been at the Flint plant. If the error occurred in St. Louis only the VIN would have been ground out and redone. We think the Flint worker was a little over zealous in his grind out of this block but he did what he was told to do remove the stamping for a re-stamp.
