[NEWFIE 69 911E]

Hi all,

As per another thread, I am in the process of rebuilding my 1980 911SC RoW:

- 190K Kilometres, engine never opened before, rebuilding due to many broken lower headstuds, did not spilt the case.

- Had the heads rebuild by a pro. Replaced all guides, stems, seals, valves and flycut 0.007" from sealing surfaces to clean up very minor damage caused by driving with broken studs.

Questions:

1. Before I removed the old head studs, I measured height to be 5.248" (~133mm). I read that spec for this should be 135mm, but considering this was the stock measurement, and there is 0.007" shaved off the heads, I am thinking that I'll set the new (steel) studs at 133mm height. Agree?

2. Considering that there was only 0.007" (0.1778mm) flycut from the heads, I am thinking that the standard (0.25mm) base gaskets should be ok. Agree?

Thanks in advance and happy motoring!
