Overkill Is Underrated
Again, mostly from lack of hands on experience with these motors but also from lack of a definite clearance spec or confusing numbers, I'm unsure of where I'm at with another clearance.
The best numbers for a piston protrusion spec tha I can find is .0039" - .0059" but I've seen it also stated that .009" is fine with standard gaskets.
I had some corrosion milled from my deck and also had my heads milled a bit to flatten. Now I'm looking at .018" that, with my Victor Reinz .010" thicker gasket will, of course, be .008".
Would this be acceptable?
My understanding is that Cometic can make a gasket of any thickness but I can't even imagine what that would cost, not to mention the time involved.
Thanks!
