[Fot] TR sleeve protrusion .011

[Philip Gott]

Thanks, Chris;
Sounds like you are running Factory Spec. I hope to find a set of .010” or so figure 8 gaskets to do the job if .011” is too much (which it probably is).
Regards,
Phil

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.
