I already sense at work that there may be some resistance to my intentions to do a comprehensive check of the block.
I already told my boss that I want to pull out the pistons, remove the rings and slip them back into the cylinders to measure ring end gap. And that I also mike out the cylinder bores and the pistons. I got a fairly long pause and then was told that he didn't know if he wanted me to go that far. ????WTH???
Sometimes it is easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.
I will check out Cometic Gaskets Inc. Are they also your source for the head bolts?
