Quick question re: liner protrusion in a wet liner engine. My new
liners dry fitted with "stock" figure 8 gaskets (0.020" thick) have
0.010" protrusion. Too much, I know. So, I'm going to make my own
fig 8 gaskets out of shim stock. I have my choice between 0.015"
shim stock and 0.012" shim stock which would give either 0.005" or
0.002" protrusion dry. Any thoughts on which way I should go? I'm
assuming that when I put some goo on the fig 8 gaskets to ensure that
they seal that I'll get another thou or two protrusion so would go
with the 0.012" shim / 0.002" protrusion.
I'll be running the Cometic gasket with the fire rings.
TIA
Cheers, Tony Drews
