In Reply to: 8n Piston Sleeve Install posted by tcsracing on February 23, 2006 at 15:01:35:
With wet-sleeved engines, especially diesels, sleeve "standout" is CRITICAL (Typically,in the neighborhood of .005" to .007"), as the sleeve itself must seal to the headgasket, and be clamped TIGHT between the counterbore in the block, and the headgasket for the seal to last. However, with the old, low compression, gas, dry-sleeved "N"'s, it is NOWHERE as critical. The head gasket will seal to the deck surface of the block. If there is a question of the sleeves being a bit loose, and trying to move up and down with the pistons, Loctite sleeve retainer will eliminate any possibilty of sleeve movement. Decking the block may cause more problems than it solves, because of potential piston and cylinder head interferance. If you want another opinion on this, post on the "N" Forum, and ask ZANE, longtime Ford mechanic and "guru" his opinion.
