I have read as much as I can stand on measuring deck height in preparation for doing just that as part of my 2056 build (different thread). While I am comfortable with the process once set-up, I can't tell from all of my reading if I should begin with a shim/gasket between jug and case, or if I should begin naked (no shim/gasket)?
I would think that I'd want to use the 4 metal gaskets (VR P/N 17-00121-01) that came with the gasket set as a crushable seal to keep oil in the engine, and so as-such would think I'd begin my deck height and CR measurements with these in place. However, I have seen many suggestions to do the set-up without "shims". Do we consider the "shims" different than the "gaskets"? As always all help appreciated. |

measure without shims, do math to add the correct amount of shims.
They deform when torque is applied, even though they are supposed to be hardened. I do it this way, just my opinion and I know others like to do things differently. rich |
