All Small Six Back in the Saddle

No. Haven't been out to work on anything in a week or so. We're getting ready to host some of the out-laws this week for spring break. I will try to sneak out to the garage and at least try to make cylinder #1 work. Anything beyond that will be the cherry on top.

How did hosting the Outlaws over spring break go?

Ok. Apologies for the delay. I will have some time Sunday for sure to get into the 200 and do a fit check. I'm crossing my fingers but I'm optimistically hopeful.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have a notional idea of how much meat is necessary around the edge of the deck to maintain gasket integrity? I don't think I'll have any issues with it, but I thought I would ask. My thought is that worst case I would have to copper coat just to make sure that any loss of material there wouldn't result in a potential for a blown gasket. TBH though, It's so far away from anything that it shouldn't be a concern and I'm not making it any narrower than any of the other spots.

The most pressure is between cylinders and as long as you have more surface area around the rest of the circumference of the cylinder it should be OK.
