Jeff Nofsinger Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 The engine I have has some pretty good pitting on the deck and in a couple of the valves. Has anyone had to machine off their engine? Was wondering how much can be taken off the top. Then we can grind out the valve seats clean.Thanks for any help!

Guest oldodgeboys Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Check with a good 'old school' machine shop. They can give you a good idea of how much deck wall thickness you need to stay structurally sound. With the DB compression so low, I'll bet you can go fairly thin, but that of course will raise your compression some.The valve seats can be fixed with inserts.
