  1. Thank you all so very much, you have been a great help to me.

    I am going to pull the liners and shim. I'll keep you posted.

    Luckily, I have the ALFA to keep me having fun while Trigítte is on the mend.

    Best,

  2. dilemma 531.c-

    i recently rebuilt the engine (likely not original as engine number CT24676E) for my 1967 TR4a commission number CTC77016LO.
    unfortunately when i took the block to my machinist to get checked out with the wetliners in it, he skimmed it ... including the wetliners, so no protrusion. 
    i didn't ask for it, but i also didn't think to say DON'T DECK MY BLOCK! 
    i crossed my fingers and ran it in but after a time it was milkshake city.
    i've since ran in the thicker copper gasket and it lasted quite a while, but now it's not stopping the milkshake either.

    i replaced everything when i did the rebuild, except the wetliners.

    now as i am getting ready to pull the engine and rectify, what are some opinions regarding my two thoughts-
    is it possible to shim up the ground wetliners with FO8, or do i replace the wetliners/pistons altogether?

    thanks in advance for your help.
