    Question Decked?? What does it mean?

     



    Hi, I'm new here and finding LOTS of good info on this forum! I have a question, what does it mean when the engine has been "decked"? The serial number on my 287 (tab in front of Cyl #2) is blank. Does it mean it has been "shaved" or "decked"? And what is the purpose for doing that?

    It's possible that it has been "decked"

    They do that to insure that the heads have a "flat" surface to bolt to. It is also a way to increase compression, but most shave the head surface to do this.

    Wouldn't that considerably increase compression as well?

    Let me apologize in advance for my definition of.....
    Decking ... also refers to a hard upper cut to the jaw.

    Then, of course, there's decked as in removing the trim and lock cylinder from the decklid of your coostom. Which, in turn, is complimented by the hood being "nosed", again, removing trim. But then, I can hardly wait to see what pro has for nosed!

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
