1.8 Measuring distortion of the bottom surface
of the cylinder head
&$87,21
Refacing of cylinder head should be kept to an abso-
lute minimum.
Excessive grinding of the cylinder head may result in
defects such as defective combustion and stamping
(contact between piston and valve).
With a straight edge placed on the bottom face of the
cylinder head, measure the bottom face distortion using a
feeler gauge. If the measurement exceeds the limit, grind the
bottom face using a surface grinder.
