Cardinal fan is an unknown quantity at this point
Question Is this an acceptable surface finish on my head
What do you think about this finish for my D17A2 cylinder head?
Is it acceptable?
Note: don’t run your fingernail across the screen!
I know it’s difficult judging from a photo but I can tell you the striations are just barely discernible with fingernail.

I would be more concerned about head warpage than surface finish.
