Go long, Tony.
I had .006-.007 on my motor.
I did a measurement test without a head gasket in place and the head on. I
checked with a feeler gauge between the head and block as I torqued it
incrementally.
It goes to zero pretty quick. I have notes on this, but they are not in front
of me now.
Something is squishing/moving and I'm not sure what, but so far so good with 7
race events and a bunch of street use on this... my first TR motor build. With,
I think around 2,500 miles on it now.
I "reused" copper figure 8 gaskets.

Subject: [Fot] Liner Protrusion, TR-4
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
