If stock is removed from the cylinder head
contact surfaces of the block, check the
depth of the seal ring grooves and counter-
bores. The cylinder head seal strip grooves
must be .092 inch-.107 inch deep. The large
water hole counterbores (between the cylinders)
must be .109 inches-.120 inches deep, and the
combination water and oil hole counterbores and
small waterhole counterbores must be .087 inches-
.098 inches deep. If necessary, deepen the
grooves or counterbores to the specified limits
to retain the proper "crush" on the seal rings.
It is not necessary to deepen the counterbores
for the cylinder liners since .004 inch and
.008 inch undersize thickness inserts are
available for adjusting the liner position as
outlined in Chapter 3, paragraph 3-98, under
Fitting Cylinder Liner in Block Bore.
