2. The upper right corner of the rear face of the block must be stamped with a X when the block is refaced to 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.). A second X must be stamped beside the first when the block is refaced to 0.50 mm (0.0197 in.) - (Fig. 45).
3. Consult the parts catalog for the proper head gaskets which must be used with refaced blocks to ensure proper piston-to-valve clearance.
