[QUOTE="BrounHownd, post: 484140, member: 30222"] Makes sense. Thanks for that! Had a few minutes to put a straight edge on it last night, but the lighting was crappy and I was in a hurry. It does look like there's some space between the edge and the cylinder mating surface on the head, especially in that area. It also looks like the cylinder mating surface on the head almost slopes away from the block ("up"? into the head?) on the inner edge. Said another way, the straight edge touches the far outer edges of the head, the outer edge of the ring on the head, but there's a gap on the inner edge of that ring. Gonna take it to an engine machine shop and see if they can do anything about it. [/QUOTE]
