Thanks Mike;
Did that, took a straight edge and they are flat.
FWIW been drag racing for a long time.
Blew up engines and transmissions.
Stuff happens and hope nobody has the surprise of losing a wheel.
All the advice here is good!
When racing any vehicle got to pay attention to everything.
Looking at ARP again for Studs.
When I freshened the Heads used ARP Head and Header Bolts.
