I need some advice on my crankcase, and figure this is the best forum to ask. I recently dropped my oil pan to replace my rear main seal. In between being hit in the face by globs of oil and grim I noticed that the driver side of the crank case (internally) had a much rougher texture. At first I thought it was a buildup of deposits/ grime, but scraping at it with a pick did little to nothing (about as much as a steel pick would do to cast iron). I wanted to check and see if this is normal before I put everything back together. I've never seen casting this rough... but I may be paranoid and looking for a reason to build a stroker.

Your input is appreciated.
