I have 15/1000 in. off of my block. I still use the "stock" steel figure 8
gaskets, but have to machine the bottom sealing area of each liner on my lathe
to get the right height. I also have to take about the same amount off of the
tops of the pistons to allow enough clearance to the head. The steel figure 8
gaskets that I have been using are 14/1000 thick. Joe(B)

How much can be safely removed from a wetliner engine block before having
problems with finding figure 8 gaskets that will work?
Is it safe to take .005" to .010" off?
Thanks
