Shot peening engine block question

I just wish the deck with the stampings had been in better shape but I guess I will take it over not having it at all.

Exactly. That's the best way to look at it. I know a lot of guys wish they had that for a problem.

Did the shot blasting have any effect on the broach marks? If you had to do it over again would you have still covered the front pad?

Thanks,
