Thanks for all the advice.

According to the CR calculators I'm using, using flat-top pistons will drive my CR right where I want it, to about 9.5. So I don't think I need to remove any material from the block, just ensure that it's the factory spec 9.503" like it should be.

So maybe the best idea is to have him just bore it for now, I'll bring it home, order my pistons, do a test fit as well as measure the surface for flatness, and take it back then for decking?
