That's not too bad a job. Probably has the copper head gaskets? I worked on a Hatz like that about 10 years ago. I think I just used a depth gauge to measure the distance from the deck surface to the piston crown. There's a spec that it calls for, and you just add or remove gaskets to get the correct spec. Really not bad...... just that you need the book to get the exact spec. Say, for example that it calls for 80 thou. You measure the piston to sit below the deck by 40 thou. You then need a 40 thou gasket. As I recall, the cylinder also had to be torqued down properly to measure this distance. If not, then you will not get a true reading. I'm trying to remember back to how we pulled that off.... Mabey straps across the cylinder deck..... Anyhow, HTH.

BTW, the one I dealt with had been run for a while with a blown head gasket. To the point that the head got loose. The cylinder started to wobble...... It reamed the base out, and then started to leak oil profusely. That would be something to keep in mind.
