I think hobby shops carry thin brass stock in .010. I bet you can cut out own with a pointy protractor. <br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On May 14, 2023, at 4:44 PM, fubog1 via Fot <fot@autox.team.net> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

Subject: [Fot] TR sleeve protrusion .011<br>
<br>
<div dir="ltr">Has anyone had experience with the cylinder sleeves protruding .011”? The head has been staked per Kas’s book. <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I am trying to build an engine quickly (avoiding machine shop delays) and have a block with billet crank and Chris Marx seal installed. It has been decked already. Also line bored and cam bearings and cam installed and timed. I want to know if I can assemble this with confidence or if I am asking for trouble? I don’t anticipate problems with oil or water sealing as I will use Hylomar on a .020” steel head gasket with the raised corrugating around the oil and water galleys.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">The crank broke and a cylinder sleeve cracked in “old reliable” during a test day.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Please advise.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Thanks and regards,<br>
