Its just like any other new block, the bores are rough machined to the minimum bore size, all the clearances will need to be checked and machined to specs. Though I do think the deck is finished. I'm pretty sure, Nick back me up here.................
The TA block does need to be surfaced AFTER the liners are seated.:smile:
We do lots of after market and alum blocks and ALL need to be finished machined. Even the new [when they were available!] factory replacement Buick blocks required final machining.
