[TR] figure 8 gaskets

[DLylis at aol.com]

Gary,
I am not the expert here but have rebuilt my 3 motor and did not encounter  
such a thing, but I would imagine that the degree to which you have this is 
part  of the equation, whether or not you use steel or copper Fo8s, and if it is 
too  severe then you would want to check the sleeves to see that the problem 
is  not there or machine the block back to flat.  As I recall the tolerances  
for "proudness" is .003 - .005" so we are not talking about much  variation. 
I used copper Fo8s because when I assembled with steel I found that  the 
results were marginal when the sleeves were clamped in place.  The  coppers were 
about .001" thicker and gave me the results I  wanted.
