I am having to machine a badly damaged top face between No. 2 & 3 cylinders, I guess the gasket was burnt away and then some of the metal from the top face. Does anyone know the height between the piston crown and the cylinder top face on an original unmachined block?
The original block height was 4.800” before I started and is now 4.780” (0.020” lower).
The original paper gasket is 0.010” thick so do I need to worry about the difference in height?
I am able to laser cut a spacer but not sure whether I will then make the block too high.
If I use one of the silicone gasket what thickness will this end up when compressed?
This block is sleeved and standard size and the best I have so would like to use it.
