I does not matter because I am going to surface it anyway but I wonder if yours is just the factory finish ?

Just thinking out loud

Bill,
I do not have an overall pic of the decks but it was definitely just one pattern. No return travel pattern or variance other than how it looked like an angular path as mentioned before. If I recall correctly, the deck height was 9.804. seems like not alot left for a factory cut. I will be running some Fel-pro 1057 (wire ring composite) gaskets for this go-round.
Thanks
Bryce
