The figure 8 gaskets I’ve gotten in the past, mostly steel, were 0.015 to 0.016 thick. Even an old set of copper figure 8’s measure 0.016. The latest copper figure 8’s from British Parts North West measure 0.020.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The 0.015 to 0.016 Figure 8’s gave the proper stick out with the old block. My concern is that if I have the liner seats cut for the 0.020 gaskets, that in the future I may not be able to get these. I’m also a bit confused as to how in the past the 0.015 to 0.016 apparently worked, but now are people using the 0.020? And how are they getting the stick out within specification?<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for any input on this. I’m taking the block over to the machine shop, about 60 miles away, tomorrow, but I don’t necessarily have to decide on the liner seats until they actually get it set up on the boring machine.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Tim<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">P.S.
