Phil,
No problem... I'll do "hot" comparison of the two methods after the engine is installed. Also, bear in mind that I said "...less than .001 difference" when I talked about "Nines" vs "Phil". I meant that literally, in that there may have been some difference, but I was confident it was less than a full thousandth of an inch. Could have been .006", for instance. But my hands, using my .001" increment feeler guages, were not going to make that call. And BTW, I once did aircraft jet engine parts dimensional inspection for a living, so I know when I'm wandering into subjective measurement territory. :)
I'll also do a careful "Hot vs Cold" using my new-found knowledge, and see if I duplicate your experience. Previously, I have not, but I didn't get that picky about it, and I was also using (Rock method) a process that I now know had some variability built-in. When you say it "tightens up", I assume you talking hotter-tighter, not colder-tighter?
