Demo'd 1960s bathroom with thick mortar base on floor tiles. Knew the flange would end up too high - test fit of toilet shows it is - just rocks on top of the flange.
CI is 4" with usual caulked lead flange. New tile job is completed and under it.
Was gonna drill out and remove the lead and flange, then see if Sioux Chief 890 with the outside compression gasket will work without cutting CI pipe - if it does, great, if pipe itself if too high (probably will be), will use grinder to cut it down so that the flange sits flat on the floor. I know I may have to cut around the pipe to get enough space for the flange to fit around the outside of the pipe.
Thoughts?
