I’ll trust the opinion of the 40+ year machinist vs everyone else on the internet. I wish you guys were closer, I’m afraid we are going to lose our local machine shop sooner or later.

Well said Sir. most people see "27 thousandths" but dont realize that it is 0.027 of an inch. negligible. standard gasket thickness is 1/16" - 1/8" (0.067-0.125). considering the total material removal from both sides of the part doesn't even equate to that, There won't be an issue. as you mentioned, use a shim or a thicker gasket. even if you used aftermarket garbage, you still wouldn't negatively affect water flow or belt wear.

people really have no clue how little .027" will make a difference in this case

I eyeball belt alignment all the time. Never had an issue. I’m sure .027 of an in off will be more than fine.

Can’t make everyone happy. My machinist taught me that a long time ago.

I think people believe 0.027 is more than it actually is.

I think it’s funny when people observing attention to detail assume more obvious details will be missed.
