My son has a DC which had leaking sleeve packings. We've pulled the sleeves & honed them already. His I&t manual said the tops of sleeves should be .001 to .003" above the block. They were flush. We haven't yet found any spacer rings. How critical is this height measurement? We're considering making some spacers from a sheet of shim stock? Good or bad idea? Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice.

If they are exacly flush, I would spray the head gasket with copper spray and put it together. As far as the seal goes, if the "O" ring grooves have any pits in them I would fill them with J.B. Weld to insure a good seal.

If flush is exactly flush, I would put it back together that way and feel safe. If flush is .0005 or more recessed. I would shim it. You need precise measuring equipment here, like a dial indicator with a .020" per revolution dial. Check them each sleeve in two or three places, average the reading and shim to get your .001"-.003". Shims are not made for a DC that I have ever seen. Case made sleeve shims .005" and .010" thick for 451"s and other newer, larger, diesel engines. You may have to remachine the counterbore to make the shim size you can find, fit the whole thing. For example, if you were recessed .001" and only a .010" shim could be found, that would make your sleeve protrude .009". That would be too much protrusion and a thinner shim would be needed, or the counterbore would have to be recut .006"-.008" deeper to leave your sleeve protruding the .001"-.003" that is required. I would go to Case, Cat, Deere, or Cummings and get something close (diameter)from them, trim it to fit, machine the counterbore if you have too and and put it together. Bruce
