sleeve/cylinder deck height question

(1/2) > >>

2001KX5:
The sleeve in my 91 cylinder is sitting just below the deck of the cylinder.  I can just catch a nail it so maybe like 1 thousandth.

Should the sleeve height be 100% flush with the cylinder deck height? Could this cause coolant problems? Should I get the deck trued so the heights match?

Arigato:
I don't know if it will affect cooling. However, it will create detonation issues.

2001KX5:
Do you mean as it is now or if I get 1 thou taken milled off the cylinder deck?

The slack could very well be taken up by the head gasket.

Arigato:
I mean with it the way it is now.

YUNGGUNNAZ:
have deck cut to 0 deck hgt.surface should be flush across imo.
