    I'm conflicted. 
    .0015 is practically nothing, but I get your concern. 
    I would give it a pass with 600 grit to see if any high and low spots show themselves and go from there I guess. 
    I can confirm that the  head gasket that you and I use squishes a lot, so it should have no issue with a .0015 variance

      Okay. Maybe I'll do that. Save my arms!!

            I'm getting my motivation though. Going back to basics, just go to the garage and chip away every day.

                I did something.  Wrong end of the car but actually turned a bolt.

                2.93LSD $150 some bearing noise but it works!  I'm keeping the cover :)

                I'll hopefully get the 2.93LSD w/60% lock Wangman Diff in there today/this weekend.

                  Are you not going to use a dual ear diff cover?

                      I was sold an e36ti diff cover.........:mellow:

                      I will probably add a reenforcement to the other side using the diff cover mounting holes as the diff mounting points.

                        It's sitting in my garage in the box that it came in. Going to pop that in after I put the cover on and fill it with fluid.

                          Between new tires and the diff im thinking you need to keep some pepto chewables in the car so peoples stomachs dont end up on the dashboard from that insane acceleration

                              Did some Diff stuff and cleaned the garage.

                              Like a Gilette commercial.

                                  Prepared the block with a sharpening stone.  I'm glad I pulled the trigger on adding this step.
