Any opinions on the quality of a block that is cast and machined on the same day? My tool&die background would make me a bit wary of machining a block when in theory it could still be cooling? I would think 2 or 3 hours minimum to fully cool. Maybe they sequenced them OK. Was the Pad stamp done when the engine was fully assembled and ready to leave Flint? I suppose it could have been cast on 3rd shift and finished and stamped on 2nd shift (same day).
