[6pack] I need a measurement

[Robert M. Lang]

Hi,

If you have a used late-style TR6 head gasket laying around, I need a 
favor. I need to know the thickness of the fire ring (after being 
crushed).

I had a TR6 block decked to true it and they took off .006", but now the 
recesses measure about .012" - I think I need to have the recesses re-cut, 
but I want to know how much crush we can get away with.

I know the answer, but I want an actual measurement from a used head 
gasket.

In a total lapse of good judgement, I actually threw out the one I took 
off this engine. GO figure. Probably the first time I ever cleaned up a 
job before it was done.

:-)

Thanks in advance.
