Subject:      Watercooled cylinder liner (barrel?) to cylinder head seal
              modification
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hello,


I want to modify the sealing set-up between the cylinder head and cylinder
liner (barrel?) to make a more reliable seal. I've seen the advice from VW
to remove the compression seal gasket from between head and liner for
aircooled engine.

Has anyone tried this for watercooled cylinder heads? I'd imagine a bit of
machining would be on order to maintain the geometry of the combustion
chamber and to maintain the correct seal between water jacket and rubber
gasket. Would the removal of the compression ring gasket create any
difference in torque settings?


Many thanks in advance,
Mohamed
