I can make thinner or thicker fig 8 gaskets.
I see the problem as ...
1) decking the block assuming you can jig up properly.
2) by decking the block .010" -It is obvious that the piston height will
change as well... probably to zero deck.
3) Now the liners are up .010 plus the original .003 to .005.
S0, two options... take the liners on a good lathe and turn down the liner
tops .010" and keep the same fig 8 gaskets.
Or get fig 8 gaskests at .010 less thick.
I have made fig 8 gaskets from .002" to .125" previously for rod clearance
issues....

Subject: decking a tractor engine block
How much can be safely removed from a wetliner engine block before having
problems with finding figure 8 gaskets that will work?
Is it safe to take .005" to .010" off?
Thanks
