During a timing chain replacement (infamous startup rattle), I had the timing cover pulled off of the engine and noticed some pretty significant carving on this metal surface.

I’m looking at stroking and boosting my 3.8, and doing full exhaust. Are there any issues I should look out for while attempting to get higher HP/Torque values? Already looking into building the trans, should I worry about other drivetrain components?
