Hello,
Does anyone mill the "deck" for lack of a better term where the cylinder meets the two case halves?
The bottom of the cylinder is flat, and I am going to clip it tomorrow at work, so I was measuring squish with the new piston and noticed that the case halves are not even. Now, its not by much, maybe .007" in places, I tend to go overboard with stuff.
I had planned on using a gasket, a thinner one though, I was just checking squish to be sure I wasn't going to lock this thing up.
Would you guys mill the case to true it up? or is it just going to end up mismatched again when the halves get split one day, and the gasket will take care of it? I don't like the idea of the cylinder being machined to the best of my ability and then bolting it to that surface like "F it"
