Is this baseplate trash?

(1/2) > >>

oktorque:
I'm wondering if this base plate will leak vacuum.  Are the mix screw slots cut too deep?

Will this throttle plate seal?

Ethan1:
 I think it is trashed. Those gouges don't look great and I think it will be hard to seal with the gasket. I am sure there is something that would work, but I would worry about a vacuum leak. Just my opinion though.

oktorque:
Cliff, what do you think? 

oktorque:
You know, judging by the mating surface on the middle section, and after looking at photos in Cliff's book, pg. 29, 30 and 67, I don't think it is trash.  I can see where the 'ridge' on the mating surface hits and it should be good.

However, I will prep and bush a spare b.plate and have it ready, in case my theory turns to tuning nightmare with vacuum leaks.  Ha!
