Subject: [Fot] TR sleeve protrusion .011

Has anyone had experience with the cylinder sleeves protruding .011”? The head has been staked per Kas’s book. 
I am trying to build an engine quickly (avoiding machine shop delays) and have a block with billet crank and Chris Marx seal installed. It has been decked already. Also line bored and cam bearings and cam installed and timed. I want to know if I can assemble this with confidence or if I am asking for trouble?  I don’t anticipate problems with oil or water sealing as I will use Hylomar on a .020” steel head gasket with the raised corrugating around the oil and water galleys.
The crank broke and a cylinder sleeve cracked in “old reliable” during a test day.
Please advise.
Thanks and regards,
Phil Gott

Hi,

I would say way too much protrusion. I normally have <0.0027.
If the block has been decked the liner seat has to be recessed too and maybe even the piston decks need some attention to maintain the proper clearance to the head.

Cheers
Chris

 NFW!Steel shim gasket .0025-.003 works well, composition & other gaskets t=
olerate more but I doubt any gasket will seal with more than .007 or so.The=
 steel gasket will clamp down the liners but you'll get minimal compression=
 of the gasket elsewhere.
I would be trimming those liners down...Good luck!
