power head planing

[mnwild]

I recently took my 83 35h johnson in to a machine shop to be planed. The guy skewed the cut on my power head and my pistons stick out of my block. Example of the skew the bottom piston's bottom is around 1/32 stick out and the top of the top piston is around 1/8 stick out. He suggested double up on gaskets. Or bouring out my head to give clearance. What do you think? I just don't trust the guy and need to get somebody elses opion.

I dont know if thats okay or not but I will say that it would make me VERY uncomfortable that he offset the block like that, if they were both the same then maybe thats a little different, but listen to some others on here, good luck.<br />-John
