I am confusing myself......... I will call Wade.
BTW, I expect this engine to run very strong. The ring seal should be excellent. Dan cured the block fill with a tq plate torqued down for months each side with the same 1016 head gasket I will use. Its the last engine Dan ever did, RIP my friend. Our friend in R.I. is helping pick out the cam. Sending out a 1050 to get calibrated for the first time in my life for this engine. It should be a beast.

You would be checking both the cap and the block to see where each one is for the fit. So its not that the cap was cut and the bolck wasnt. The block could of been off from the factory. The rope was more forgiving for error. The Viton not as much. So you really need to trim accordingly. You will do the same checking procedure for bolth to see what needs to be done. My cap side needed much more sanding then the block . Just square up one side of the seal to the parting edge and measure whats protruding out on the other side. You need no more the .0020" and no less then .015" . So if you need to take some off take it from the very bottom and work you way up the sides tappering as you sand. The half should slowly start to drop in to the number you're shooting for.... This would be for a 2 piece seal . The 1 piece is the same but different . The 1 piece you have to orient for one position and sand off what the measurements are from each side .. Im not the one to ask when it comes to the one piece . Haha.. Sorry .. Wade explains it well. You should call him.. He'll tune you up and get you going no doubt..
Thats a good idea . The rings are everything. I did mine different this time around and im very happy ..
Yes our friend knows his cams. Good choice for determining that . Im sure that you will be more then happy...
