Hey geo : Please post an intro tell us a bit about yourself.
Not familiar with that plan set. but you are talking a ten thousands of an inch difference. I would think that for a center line height should not matter a lot. Could be a cad rounding error. you could split the difference if you want.
Maybe someone with IC experience will comment on this.

Hi geo,
According to my Jerry Howell V twin plans the centre line is 1.680"
I can see your logic behind the figure of 1.670" because if you divide the overall height by 2 this number comes up.
Don't be fooled, when "the centre line" statement is used this does not always mean that it has to be in the centre of the part.
Although I personally have not made a start on this engine yet it has been made successfully plenty of times.
Jerry Howell was an extremely talented man, I am sure if you follow the plans exactly as they are there should be no issue.
Good luck and if you are underway with the build please post the progress.
Cheers,
Baz.

Thanks for the feed back I am an Aussie from Brisbane I decided about a month ago I would like to build a small I c engine bought a lathe( not real good) and a mill some plans and here we are. I have put the crank case aside until I make up my mind about the centre line also waiting on some tooling and a rotary table I have fabricated crank cover ( twice buggered the first one) started on the heads .Allen Howell has been very obliging and I can see that this site will be a life saver cheers
Speaking of Jerry Howell's Twin V ... anyone built one?
I'm making SW drawings and well ... have a few questions.
My search have not turn up any finds so far. Maybe someone build one but didn't
post progress.
I hope to start a build after a drawing review.
Thanks
