the head was reprofiled by harry barlow to suit the piston (yam it175) it doesn`t sit in the barrell, the recess is in the actual head,will try to do a picture later.brand new casing.no base gasket. was told to bolt barrel on without,then measure deck height(hence original question) .many thanks for your help sean.
