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.
