Cylinder Head Inspection
•
Remove all carbon deposits from combustion chambers.
•
Check cylinder head for cracks on intake and exhaust ports, combustion chambers, and head surface. Using a straightedge and thickness gauge, check flatness of gasketed surface at a total of 2 locations. If distortion limit, given below, is exceeded, correct gasketed surface with a surface plate and abrasive paper of about #400 (Waterproof silicon carbide abrasive paper): place abrasive paper on and over surface plate, and rub gasketed surface against paper to grind off high spots. Should this fail to reduce thickness gauge readings to within limit, replace cylinder head.
Leakage of combustion gases from this gasketed joint is often due to warped gasketed surface: such leakage results in reduced power output.
•
Distortion of manifold seating faces:
Check seating faces of cylinder head for manifolds, using a straightedge and thickness gauge, in order to determine whether these faces should be corrected or cylinder head replaced.
NOTE:
Do not use any sharp-edged tool to scrape off carbon deposits. Be careful not to scuff or nick metal surfaces when decarboning. The same applies to valves and valve seats, too.
Leakage of combustion gases from this gasketed joint is often due to warped gasketed surface: such leakage results in reduced power output.
