I've got the head off my TR4A, and I'm not seeing any protrusion on one of my cylinders. Number 2. Instead of .003 to .005, I'm seeing what appears to be "zero" on this one. Very smooth to the block. The others are about .003, maybe even a bit less. I'd guess .001 to .002, but it's hard to use those paper thin feeler gauges.
Is this critical on the "apparently low" one, or will the head gasket take up any space or issue?
Also, does anyone replace pistons, rings and liners with the engine still in the car?
I'm not actually intending to go that far, because then it's rods, pins, thrusts and bearings, too, and I've never done that myself. One day I may tackle all of that, or sooner if someone tells me (or convinces me) I should. The car runs strong, and good. I'm just replacing a head gasket I never should've used, and noticing things along the way.
Thanks all.
