Thanks for posting Tiger , some interesting reading there.

Can you explain some more regards piston 5mm above deck & effect on head gasket? , are you saying the piston acts as a shroud of some sort?

Thanks again.






Hello fellow Brit!

To reduce the strain on the cylinder head gasket the pistons intrude by about 5mm into the head, so as to cover the gasket area at top dead centre where pressure and temperature are highest. The gasket is made of a spring steel recessed in a groove in the upper flange of the cylinder. The head is machined accordingly



Thanks.

Some guys on here would'nt have bothered answering seeing as i come from little ole UK. , or they got us on 'ignore this user'



I wouldn't worry too much. Most Americans treat Brits extra special- specially the ladies. Those blokes that don't are usually bitter that we're nicking all their women and I'm ok with that
