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.
Decking the block on the wet liner engine makes this more fiddly.Â
You'll want to verify piston height at TDC too.

Has anyone had experience with the cylinder sleeves protruding
.011â??? The head has been staked per Kasâ??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
donâ??t anticipate problems with oil or water sealing as I will use
Hylomar on a .020â?? steel head gasket with the raised corrugating
around the oil and water galleys.<br>
The crank broke and a cylinder sleeve cracked in â??old reliableâ??
during a test day.<br>
Please advise.<br>
Thanks and regards,<br>
Phil Gott<br>
