[Fot] TR sleeve protrusion .011

[fubog1]

 NFW!Steel shim gasket .0025-.003 works well, composition & other gaskets tolerate 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!

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
