Head gasket on aluminum block - 02/22/20 05:07 AM
Cylinder liners currently have O-ring grooves. Grooves are about .038" wide.
Between the grooves at their closest point, between the bores, is only about .030".
So at that same point, it is about .105" from groove inner ID - to - inner ID., .038 + .030 + .038 = .106
1.) Which head gasket should I use ?
2.) The liners stick up a few thou above the deck. Is this OK with a conventional gasket ? Cometic told me No, with theirs.
3.) Should I just fill in the grooves flush to the top of the liner ?
