For a TR3 engine, I see in the manual that the clearance between the top of the cylinder and the top of the block should be 0.003 to 0.005 in. Is there a problem if the top of the cylinder sits too high above the top of the block? As I measure all around the cylinders, I find that the top of the cylinder is sitting about 0.012 (on average) above the deck. Some spots have 0.010 and one area (cylinder #4) had 0.015
Do I need to pull these cylinders and find a thinner Fo8 gaskets?
This is a new rebuild with new cylinders, pistons and rings. After assembling, the compression showed #1 150, #2 135, #3 120, #4 125
Ran the engine (ran rough) with no leaks (coolant/oil - no coolant in the oil). Head newly surfaced with new valves and valves adjusted.
Trying to figure out why there is such a difference in the compression in each cylinder.
I sure don't want to pull the cylinders if I don't have to.
Any advice, suggestions, ideas are appreciated.
Thanks, Jack
