Ok guys I have looked in the manual and cannot find the tolerances. I have my head off because the head gasket went bad after not properly torquing the head down after ring replacement. What I am wondering is the Tolerance on head warpage I know there should be none ideally but nothing is perfect any help would be appreciated guys thanks |

Check the link below. It is for the 94 FSM. Look in section 06A1 ENGINE MECHANICAL 1 LITER L3 VIN CODE 6026, page 30. I can only remember seeing a tolerance for checking the head not the block. I would use the same tolerance. Looks like the tolerance is .002" http://geometroforum.com/topic/5044844/1/#new Edited by freegeo, Dec 27 2016, 12:10 PM.

In addition to the reference that freegeo posted that gives tolerances for the cylinder head mating surface, the 1991 Factory service Manual specifies tolerances for the cylinder block gasket surface.
