PM<BR><B>Subject: </B>[Fot] Liner Protrusion, TR-4<BR>
<DIV> </DIV>Quick question re: liner protrusion in a wet liner
engine. My new <BR>liners dry fitted with "stock" figure 8 gaskets (0.020"
thick) have <BR>0.010" protrusion. Too much, I know. So, I'm going
to make my own <BR>fig 8 gaskets out of shim stock. I have my choice
between 0.015" <BR>shim stock and 0.012" shim stock which would give either
0.005" or <BR>0.002" protrusion dry. Any thoughts on which way I should
go? I'm <BR>assuming that when I put some goo on the fig 8 gaskets to
ensure that <BR>they seal that I'll get another thou or two protrusion so would
go <BR>with the 0.012" shim / 0.002" protrusion.<BR>
<DIV> </DIV>I'll be running the Cometic gasket with the fire rings.<BR>
<DIV> </DIV>TIA<BR>
<DIV> </DIV>Cheers, Tony Drews<BR>
