Resurfacing deck, affect on cylinder bores

Visited te machinist yesterday and he was able to confirm my findings: approx .008" taper across each bank but in totally opposite directions. Also confirmed the difference in height in each bank, between cylinder 1 and 2: .018" :shock: Fortunately the height of the "odd" bank is actually +.010 over blueprint spec so I should end up around .010" under blueprint; should be ok.
