Hi,
Checking how much the liners protrude on my TR3B engine, I found that
I am on the low side of the tolerance on most of the block. I was
wondering if it is possible to purchase figure-8 gaskets with an
extra 0.002-0.003" or if I will have to solder a copper wire on the
head gasket like somebody I know ;-). I am also considering making a
set of 2-3 thou figure-8 shims from shimstock but it will be
tedious...
And yes, the crank is in already, with the darn felt bits shellacked
and compressed where they need to be. Not fond of going back to bare
block to have it decked.
