Hi Tony,

Maybe a silly question but how flat is flat?  I blew a head gasket and upon stripping it down I found the head was perfect but I could detect some slight warping on the block.  Nothing big enough to get even my thinest feeler gauge (.004") in but with a light behind the defect was visible.  I'm thinking that a defect that small will be manged via the gasket but interested in your thoughts.
