Hi bob,
I knew about Mordy's thinner gaskets and will order as needed. Thats
interesting about the deck of the block not being parallel to the bottom.
If that's true I wonder how the did the machining? When you use a boring
plate on top of the engine with the liners clamped in place the block is
sitting on a flat surface perpendicular to the boring head. That would
tell me the bottom is parallel to the top, or am I missing something?
