Listers,
Anyone know what the depth of the water jacket around the cylinders
(3000 block) is suppose to be? I measured about 5 1/4 inches from the
top of the block down to something solid. I'm sure that there's some
variation in the castings, but if it's suppose to be 7 inches then I
know I've got a good bit of crud in there.
