Engine case question for you engine rebuilding mechanics

Re: Engine case question for you engine rebuilding mechanics

I meant to ask this earlier.

Does the thread really crush down to nearly no height so it does not add any clearance to the crank and cam journals?

I think that in the past I have not used the thread so I have no experience with it.

Yes,
The thread does crush down to a very thin line and does not add any clearance. I'll try to remember to take a picture of the next case we disassemble. The thread usually leaves a mark on the case, almost an indentation.
