I am not as concerned about the broach marks as I am the VIN stamping but will likely put a plate on it regardless just to make sure. I was also told by someone else that the rocker studs should be removed as the blasting tends to round the threads.
I’ve had many of my blocks done Rick and it doesn’t hurt the stamping 👍🏻
