Do you measure liner height before or after application of Permatex?
This discussion (and numerous others) shows that everyone develops
their own methods. They find something that works and then sticks
with it. Obviously, there are multiple solutions to many of these
problems.<br>

With regard to getting the landings clean, when building a new motor
I used to bead blast the entire block. Can't believe I was once
stout enough to heft it into the bead blaster.<br>

All I can share is my experience. When I started racing, a
long time TR-3 driver recommended just plain old brown
Permatex on both sides of the gasket, and on the block and
liners. I'm old school, and believe, "if it ain't broke,
don't fix it". In over 50 years of building race and street
engines I have never had a leak in my Figure 8 gaskets. And,
that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.</div>
