Hi I've ordered all the missing parts that I need for my engine rebuild .been reading a lot of threads about rebuilds and how to prevent oil leaks .Thanks to byto and Pete on here .but one thing I'm not sure about is the four notch pins between the head & barrels .do I have to file them down because I've had the head skimmed .I've read people have had leaks .when they have had head and barrels skimmed .and not filed them down .Any ideas
Bryanj:
Assemble dry and check the "gap" with feelers the see how thick the gasket is, unless a lot was skimmed off you should be OK
yozzer74:
He did say he had skimmed a lot off it .I will do that thanks
UK Pete:
Yes as bryan says do it dry and measure, i would personally make them slightly undersize to avoid any problem
