The Toffinator Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Put a straight edge on it dude, give it a good clean. As long as its flat it will be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I personally would not recommend doing this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie1st Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I rebuilt my engine and did this, if you're replacing the gasket because it has blown though then I'd say it needs machining to prevent it happening again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maddox710 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Alot of people will tell you that mls head gaskets will need a perfectly clean head and block surface to seal properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Put a straight edge on the block deck and use a torch to shine at the bottom, if you can see light through the other side of the straight edge then get the block skimmed. Check at various different points and angles across the deck face. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
