273 warm up!

Yeah, I know. My point is that the OP may well have lost compression in the rebuild and it would be desireable to rectify that as much as possible.

Cometic offers a .027" MLS thickness. Has anyone asked about them in the smaller bore for the 273?

There has been talk about that a year or so ago but I don't know whether anyone ever had any made. I believe Cometic will make about any thing you want. Steel shims are still available for big blocks. I wish the small block ones hadn't disappeared.
