Can somebody do me a big favor and measure the difference in height between the timing cover gasket surface and the cam thrust surface on the front of a big block? I have one that's been machined for a Torrington thrust bearing and I'm trying to figure out if it was machined for the Isky kit or something else. Thanks, Lance

I laid a straight edge across the surfaces on a 454 block in my garage and with a micrometer, measured .201"
Let me know if that is what you were looking for.

Thanks Jim,
That's exactly what I needed.

Thank you, Lance
