RE: [alfa] liner-block clearance

Mark -

I'm pretty sure that the spec for liner protrusion listed in the manual is
WITHOUT the o-rings in place.

IOW, drop the liners in sans o-rings, measure the protrusion if it is within
spec (not that there is much you can do about if it isn't), then put the
o-rings in and assemble everything.

I know that those little o-rings are all that separates the coolant from the
oil and it is kind of scary, but it seems to work (most of the time :-)

Subject: [alfa] liner-block clearance

I just put new liners in my 1750, and they have much
more clearance (~0.018") above the block than the spec
(0.002").  The clearance is pretty consistent across
all of them.  But I have them just sitting in there,
rather than being pushed down with a washer-pipe
combo.  Should the measurement be made with them
pushed down?  (I don't know if the o-ring could be
holding them up a bit.)  How much clearance is too
much?
