flange must be .045" to .050" below the surface of the
block. However, even though all of the liners are within
these specifications, there must not be over .002"
difference in depth between any two adjacent 'liners
when measured along the cylinder longitudinal center
line.
NOTE: A .002" thick shim is available for
adjusting the liner height (in the current " high"
block only). The shim must be installed
underneath the liner insert. Do not cut the
shim for installation. Liner inserts which are
.0015 " thicker or thinner than standard are
also available for service. In addition, the
.004" and .008"
thinner inserts (also
available in .0015" thicker and thinner sizes),
which are provided for use with re-surfaced
cylinder blocks, can also be used to adjust the
liner height.
