- A fellow FOT'r whose computer broke asked me to post this question. What is an acceptable liner height setting for steel shim head gasket on 4cyl TR engine? Seems the one he's building has a variati

- It doesn't sound that bad. the head might be bowed as well. I'd certainly check that. I'd also use copper wire to o-ring the liners. I've found that a cheap hot glue gun works better than crazy glue

- The steel shim and solid copper head gaskets are very picky about liner protrusion. The stock style sandwich gasket is much more tolerant of this kind of thing. - Tony Drews

- One man's opinion: Most of the time the steel shim gaskets will not work with variations this great. TOn the other hand, the stock sandwich gasket will usually tolerate variations of this size and wi

- I assume you have Kas' new books. If you don't, buy them right now. they saved me thousands of dollars and would have saved a lot more if I had them a few years ago. the copper wire trick is kind of

- Gee, the only reason I use steel gaskets is that the composite ones seem to suck. they don't have good enough fire rings, and I've had way too many blow on me. the steel gaskets hold up better, as lo

- I have worked on wet sleeve engines for many years. what threw me a rear curve was the alloy figure 8 gaskets I got from moss. on first start trying to break in the cam water came out of everywhere!

- In my opinion, the compression ratio argument doesn't hold up. Most of us racing with 87mm forged pistons must custom order pistons. It's easy enough to specify 0.025 more compression height in order

- My comments apply, of course, to a new rebuild when the head is already milled to the max. I agree, for the problem at hand, a composite gasket will have a better chance. You might also try K&W block

- The problem with a stock type copper gasket is when you have milled the head enough, the gasket is actually into the combustion chamber slightly right next to the inlet valve. The protrusion vibrates
