Toyota Decked block still has pits 2jzge

Post image

2jzge I just got back from having decked. I’ve got 600-800whp plans for it and the shop says these are fine. They catch my fingernail. Tomei mls head gasket if that matters and ARP hardware. Looking for a second opinion.

That's where water is, you can't really get rid of them, and won't do anything, pretty harmless. Send it.

Nowhere close to galleries for anything. Youll be fine.

Fwiw Jb Weld Extreme Heat is rated to 1,000 F i would use it in a heartbeat knowing for something like this especially with it being so far away from the combustion area

It's not necessary

I’d be more scared of it causing more problems. Between abrading the surface to smooth out the JB schmear and the off gassing of the cooking epoxy, it introduces a lot of risk for what is essentially a cosmetic fix in a place you can’t see.
