I don't see how anyone ever gets this right without a variety of
gasket thicknesses. I bought brass shim stock of various thicknesses
and cut a bunch of shims. The problem using snips is it is difficult
to cut the inner diameter. You can make nice cuts using a cheap
circular cutter and a drill press. They will tend to curl up, but
you can work around that. Photos are needed to explain the
procedure. I think Tony used to have photos at his site. If they
aren't still there, I can try and locate them.<br>

<p>You can also make some custom thickness replacements for the
figure 8 gaskets to tune the protrusion. You can get brass shim
stock from local hardware store or McMaster Carr and cut out
with scissors / snips. I do separate O shapes, the siamesed
cylinders don't really need the gasket combined into a fig 8
one.</p>
<p>Decking the block on the wet liner engine makes this more
fiddly. You'll want to verify piston height at TDC too.</p>

<div>Subject: [Fot] TR sleeve protrusion .011 </div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
Has anyone had experience with the cylinder sleeves protruding
.011”? The head has been staked per Kas’s book. <br>
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>
The crank broke and a cylinder sleeve cracked in “old reliable”
during a test day.<br>
Please advise.<br>
Thanks and regards,<br>
Phil Gott<br>
