Forgiven me if a stupid q....
I am re-building my 1974 2.0 and following the manuals and Raby video. As I measure the deck height, I am too close - about .15” I have some spacers, but it appears they only fit correctly on the head side and not on the case side of the barrel. They are too small if I try to install between the barrel and the case. I am using AA pistons and 96 size Is it ok to add the spacers on top of the barrel instead of below to add the necessary height?   |

The general consensus is no. Whether or not head "gaskets" shold be used at all is a topic of debate. Google it and you'll see. They definitely make cylinder barrel "shims" in a variety of sizes. Doesn't matter if the jugs are 94mm or 96mm...if they fit properly in the case, the shims will work. And that's about as much engine advice as I'm qualified to give (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).
How are you measuring the deck height? Are you using a specific tool? dial gauge? I'm sure if you post a pic of your setup, the engine gurus can offer more insight. |
