cylinders do not pull away from the case when removing the
cylinder<BR>head. What is the basis for this statement? Is it just
that it is more a<BR>PITA if it slips off?</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>It means that you'll have to use new paper gaskets at the point where
the cylinders meet and seal at the case. Be warned that some engine builders use
a shim here to level out the compression ratio, and take up the difference in
manufacturing/machining. Some also don't use a paper gasket, but rather
use silicone to prevent oil leaks.</DIV>
<DIV>Also, you should do 1 cylinder at a time, and use some valve lapping
compound to help seal the head end.
