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?   |

When you do order the shims, my advice from experience is to get two sets. Measure them after removing the burr on the inner edge from the stamping process. I found a significant variation within one pack so had to take one from the other pack to get four of the same thickness.
