We'll I cant be 100% sure that it would be ok, I noticed daylight through mine when I sat the head on the block with no gasket, and I can promise you that mine would have had problems, because theres no way it could have compressed the gasket around the #1 cylinder. Are you getting water and oil mixed after a rebuild, and did you notice any kind of step between the two surfaces?

Might ask Ted - he's probably run into motors where that mistake was made before.
Personally, I think that's quite likely... But you wont' know for sure until you pull it and see if the gasket is blown or get some indication of how the water/oil is getting in.

actually, I'm not getting water in oil at all. I'm losing a little coolant at a steady but very slow rate. And also it uses oil regularly. When the nose is pointed down at steeper angles it smokes. Weird problem and probably won't be able to tell what is going on until I open it up.
