Mark it's the outer edge of the sleeve, that should be 2 to 4 thou above the block.

Look what I found - and the right side of the Atlantic too!
They want $19.73 to post it across here

It is paperback, same as the one I have, very concise and informative. Although they won't give any info on fuel injection pumps, telling you to take them to a specialist
