<p>While on this general subject... the 250 and TR6 blocks have a
ledge machined into the top couple mm of each bore, presumably to
allow a bit of the head gasket to seep into this space. Does
anyone have a better explanation?</p>
<p>Has anyone had this ledge removed by decking the block and if so
were there piston to head clearance issues?</p>

minority here, but I measure the effort/expense of doing it 100%
right, against the effort/expense of fixing it if it doesn't
work. If the block is already out, seems little effort and
minimal money to have it skimmed at a machine shop, with the
added advantage that they'll boil the block, thus cleaning any
years' worth of crud out of the water channels, and check the
block for cracks. Am I glad I did that? Yes. When I took in
the block that was original to the car for checking, the
machinist found cracks where the liners sit. I'd have had to
pull the engine and start over, assuming I hadn't ruined it
altogether already. Instead, I sourced a free block from a List
member in CT, and was golden.<br>
