Hi Mike,
That's a tough call. Fortunately for me, I had Greg Solow advising me during my
build. When I first checked the protrusion, I had really low measurements along
one side of the block. I actually had the block machined on a slight angle to
clean it up. That gave me higher protrusion than the .003-.005" spec. at
.006-.007". So I think it's better to be on the high side than shorter than
.003" of the factory spec.
If I recall correctly, when I torqued the head without a gasket in place it
went to .001" around 40lbs. of torque with the .006-.007" protrusion. So
something is squishing or giving quite a bit when the head is getting torqued.
This is why a torque plate should always to used when the liners are bored. The
liners change shape under pressure.
I wouldn't get too hung up on what is happening with the head on torque
measurement, but .008" with the head off seams a little high. But I thought
.006-.007" was high too.
Really, at that point I decided to just put the thing together.
With the head off, are you still getting .008" protrusion?
The only reasonable thing you can do to change that, is change the figure 8 or
take a little off the top of the liners.
Perhaps Ken can advice you better than me.
Man, is everyone using 89mm pistons now?
Dave

Tony and Dave,
This is my first racing engine rebuild (2nd engine rebuild I have ever done),
and I am trying to figure out each step as I go, so any advice would really
help. I have read Tony's rebuild tips on the web, and Kas books. But it's
sometimes hard to put word in correct actions.
I am currently fitting new liners I got from ken Knight, I assume these are
ones you got Tony.
With them held in by bolts and washers torqued to 40lbs I had .007 protrusion,
using .015 steel figure 8s, the copper I have are .020, so I assumed too thick.
After talking to Mordy Dundst, I put on head without gasket, before tightening
I had .008 between deck and head. After tightening to 40lbs I could barely get
.003 between head and block. Something doesn't seem right.
Can you guys advise on what I am doing wrong, or what I should do?
Thanks, Mike

Subject: [Fot] Liner Protrusion, TR-4
Quick question re: liner protrusion in a wet liner engine. My new liners dry
fitted with "stock" figure 8 gaskets (0.020" thick) have 0.010" protrusion. Too
much, I know. So, I'm going to make my own fig 8 gaskets out of shim stock. I
have my choice between 0.015"
shim stock and 0.012" shim stock which would give either 0.005" or 0.002"
protrusion dry. Any thoughts on which way I should go? I'm assuming that when I
put some goo on the fig 8 gaskets to ensure that they seal that I'll get
another thou or two protrusion so would go with the 0.012" shim / 0.002"
protrusion.
I'll be running the Cometic gasket with the fire rings.
TIA
Cheers, Tony Drews
