Cylinder Head Tolerance Question
https://www.scoobynet.com/images/icons/icon1.gif
Right. My original heads went in for a check over on Thursday and the findings are: One of them has a minus 2 thou (0.0508 mm) area smack in the middle of the head and bang in between both combustion chambers. The other has a minus 2 thou ( 0.0508 mm) area alongside both combustion chambers between the chambers and the edge of the head below exhaust ports. Question is: Is this within recommended tolerances or will they need to be skimmed ? We will be fitting Victor Reinz tri layered quality head gaskets. |
The heads should be pretty uniform straight across with no sinkage etc
I'm pretty sure the cylinder heads have a 3 thou tolerance for skimming assuming they've not been touched before. |

We will be fitting Victor Reinz tri layered quality head gaskets. 0.002" is the top end of the tolerance so a light skim would clean them up back to parallel. Make sure they skim both heads equally and the maximum regrind limit on standard height heads is 0.012". Mick |
