Cylinder sleeves not lined up?

[NvgtrWiggles]

Have some jugs I bought off e-bay for a CB400t, and I noticed that the top of the sleeves aren't quite level with the gasket surface. Is this kosher, or am I going to have to get this fixed? Is this something I can fix at home? Lost at this one.

Edit: The top of the sleeves are about .010 inches above the gasket surface.

I could be wrong, because I have never taken that particular engine apart, but the top of the sleeve IS the gasket surface. That metal ring that is part of the gasket seals between the sleeve and the head.

that's fairly common, if you have a machinist flatten the head it will seal better, but as it stands, it should seal fine

Alright, sounds good! Looks like I can just slap it all together, then!
