[Fot] TR sleeve protrusion .011

You can machine the cylinder seat the required amount.  I have a set of mandrels I made and do this frequently on the lathe.Steve YottSteve Yott

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 GottSent from my iPhone_______________________________________________fot at autox.team.nethttp://www.fot-racing.comDonate: http://www.team.net/donate.htmlArchive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fotUnsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/tr4@wi.rr.com
