we are going to miss Mars again its 3 thou clearance not .03mm (whatever that is in real money)Is this the same as 0.03mm clearance on the alloy faces when stacked together?

Same stone age that produced the Vincent? or stick with a measurment at half the distance you needWell, I do 0.03 mm - as most of the worldwide poulation of 6 or 7 billions do - well except some millions in third world countries like USA or UK stuck in stone age . . . . .
Vic
Is your vice wide enough to hold 2 pieces of rod that are a cylinder bolt width apart? You could use cylinder studs if you have any extras that are trash. Slip the cylinder over the two rods set up so they are below the surface of the muff. Add something to protect the bottom of the liner. With some fiddling you can get the barrel so it won’t move. Then rotate the head. It isn’t the ideal way to do it, but it’ll work.Where is a pic of a Vincent head held in a vice hemi up?
I don't seem to have a vice with a large enough opening.
Thanks

I don't think it needs even that much ?.I have a piece of hexagon bar with a 14 mm thread turned on the end to that I clamp in the vice If I am working on the cylinder head. Plenty of adjustment.
If you are not working to micron tolerances, a rough rule of thumb is 0.1 mm is 0.004".
