[Fot] setting sleeves/barrels

[Bill Babcock]

I measure them with a little pressure, and then put the head on and  
snug it down to something like full torque, pull it off and then  
measure again. The gasket and the seating surfaces may not be perfect.  
It's a good idea to see if stuff moved.

It's not a dead horse given the nature of the head gaskets we have  
available.
