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><br></div>I'll be running the Cometic gasket with the fire rings.<br><div><br></div>TIA<br><div><br></div>Cheers, Tony Drews<br><div><br></div>_______________________________________________<br>fot@autox.team.net<br><div><br></div>http://www.fot-racing.com<br><div><br></div>Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html<br>Archive: http://www.team.net/archive<br>Forums: http://www.team.net/forums<br>Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/dlhogye@comcast.net<br><div><br></div><br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
