Can anyone tell me what the deck height should be on a 350LC Cylinder?
(The distance between the bottom mating face and the top mating face of the cylinder)

Oops,
Apparently the "Deck height" is the measurement taken from the top of the piston at bottom dead centre to the top of the cylinder.
What i need is the measurement between the top and bottom gasket faces of the cylinder.
I now suspect that the machine shop did not check this measurement on both cylinders as i asked them to and that this slight variation is causing the head gasket to leak between the cylinder and the water jacket.
I will remove the cylinders for measuring this week.
