Just started the tear down on a 4.0 to replace my aging 4.2, does anyone have the block and head[quote][/quote] specs for a 4.0? Looking to see what is the min and max amounts of warpage. I straight edge the block and head and have at the most 0.003. Just trying to figure out how much additional machine work I need and what is acceptable. Seems all my factory manuals have walked away over the years.

You are allowed .001" per 1", .002" per 6", and .008" for the whole length.

Thats kinda what I thought, the 0.003 I have between #3 and #4 is what is concerning me the most. If I break that down into a 1' measurement, I have exceeded the 0.001 rule. I was hoping I was going to be okay since this was a supposed rebuilt block. Thanks for the insight, always open to other suggestions or opitions.
