[Fot] TR sleeve protrusion .011

[Tony Drews]

You can also make some custom thickness replacements for the figure 8 
gaskets to tune the protrusion.  You can get brass shim stock from local 
hardware store or McMaster Carr and cut out with scissors / snips.  I do 
separate O shapes, the siamesed cylinders don't really need the gasket 
combined into a fig 8 one.

Decking the block on the wet liner engine makes this more fiddly.  
You'll want to verify piston height at TDC too.

Regards, Tony Drews
