    Down in the cylinder it's not bad at all. Can't feel it with my nail. But at the top it's pretty deep

    timing cover is cleaned up and painted...

    will be bringing it to work when i get back from georgia and having the mating surfaces for the water pump cleaned up. might have them milled about .001" just to knock the paint off and make sure its clean
