George you need to put this in the 2000/2500/2.5 section of the Forum. The recessed block was really a late Mk2 saloon/estate 'S' thing. Is there any particular reason why you want a recessed block? MUT Mad Uncle Ted! |

Mk2 2L blocks are the same. No need to limit to 2.5. Recess or not is done on age and really makes damn-all difference - just use the head gasket to suit.

Quoted from Nick Jones- Indeed Triumph recessed the blocks to cure a problem. Where there was no problem.

Quoted from Gt6s- Problem was on the 4 pots (cylinders close together) and on the Mk1 6 pots (weedy head studs and insufficient clamp), so this was indeed a solution to a non-existent problem. And a right PITA when you are trying to reduce deck height.
