[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 13354, member: 4034"] The head seals on the top of the liner, and ideally the head will be in hard contact with the liner and "soft" contact with the muff. But it is the liner seal that is essential, and I took the top of the liner down with a file to avoid spending the rest of my life lapping. 0.002 to 0.003 clearance when the head is sitting on top of the muff is proably about right. I've had no problems at all. Note also that 28 lb.feet torque on greased head nuts is PLENTY, and if you can get off with less, good. [/QUOTE]
