    I pulled this motor out of a buick, I took the valley pan off, if that is what you call it, it looks like someone took a hammer and chiseled it. Is this what it is suppossed to look like? This is my first nailhead. Thanks in advance one more thing it ran like a top real good 100 mph down the hi way

    that's pretty much what they all look like... no worries, but if you pull it down to rebuild some like to clean it all up...

    everything is normal from what I can see. Cleaning up the casting flash doesn't hurt.
