The great thing about doing blocks in a CNC machine such as this is we can fix issues in a block that other machine shops can't even see exist. We go in each block & do a series of digitizing steps that allow us to see how far the bores are off from the blueprinted locations. I don't know of any other engine builders doing LS engines that can do a actual blueprint on the block to correct it from machining errors @ GM. Most blocks we work with have the bores & deck surfaces incorrectly located relative to the cam & crank locations. While typical machine shops can't properly check this & correct it, with a cnc machine we can go in & inspect these issues & take the appropriate actions to properly correct them.

The result is a block that is correct to blueprint instead of just close enough that it'll run.......
