Building a 1.7, 90 mm piston/cylinder. With no base gasket, deck height is .013in. Shouldn’t the head gasket/ shim be included in the deck height.
Barrel shim, not yet installed, is .21mm. Head gasket is .068. Seems to me that deck height would be.082 without barrel shim. I.e. .013 plus .068. Thoughts on this please? Randy |

They sell a kit to help with it... a deck height measurement kit. No head gaskets / shims. Put the base shim and assemble the cylinder. Using the kit, it will bolt down under pressure (torque spec not necessary but likely used) and measure the deck height. You want .040 to .060.. somewhere in that range. Do the math and calculate the base shim you will need to meet the deck height. Make sure you take the CC of the heads into consideration for compression ratio calculations...
Have fun! QUOTE(clarkcou @ Nov 28 2020, 07:16 PM)  Building a 1.7, 90 mm piston/cylinder. With no base gasket, deck height is .013in. Shouldn’t the head gasket/ shim be included in the deck height.
