Got a decent bit of machining done on the block today. I square decked it. One deck was at 9.798" and the other was at 9.796", essentially the stock 9.8" deck height. Zero deck for new set up is 9.780. I ended up right at 9.7785 on both decks after machining. and I'm okay with that, as I'm already a little low compared to the compression I'd like to have.
Squaring fixture set up in the block. Theres a 90degree plate on the other side that we level off of to assure a square deck.
It then got setup in the machine and decked.
After all is said and done.
