Warp limit on this head is .003 inches, not something you're going to measure without a straightedge and feeler gauges... Nerd

Take it to a machine shop and have it checked.
It's cheaper to have it surfaced than to put a
second head gsk.

I wonder...Hmm...( ...and I'm NOT a mechanic!!!)
If the head is "re-surfaced", does that mean that it's being "shaved" a bit
and wouldn't the pistons hit the the valves?  arrow
Or would the new gaskets be thicker to compensate for the loss of length of cylinder height?
Or is metal added to the hollows and lows and then leveled off to former/original specs?  Scratch Head 3






( I am now visualizing auto mechanics around the world rolling on
the floor in oil and grease laughing their butts off !!! )   face in palm

The "thickness" of the cylinders wouldn't bother me - could be racing boat engines!
It's the length of the cylinder heads that I would have concern with!  rotflmao
I wouldn't want the top of the pistons to come in contact with the valves...

All of these are good questions! Yes, resurfacing is the same as "shaving", but neither use a shaver. bust gut laughing

If the head is resurfaced too far, then you will have valve-piston contact, but usually before that happens, the compression will be so high that you can't run pump gas any more. You can buy different thickness head gaskets for many applications to compensate for this.

If the head (or other part) is rare enough (think classic cars that the owner wants to keep all original), you can add metal to the mating surface of the head (by welding it) then surface it back down to the original height. This is VERY expensive on cast iron due to the difficulty of welding cast iron, but is relatively inexpensive on aluminum parts.

Damn  sure got some senile folks on this channel.  Ron posted when he cut that finger off, and that wasn't in 2004.

Gee all I was trying to do is tell brichter that a broke toe wasn't all that bad, it could have been worse. rotflmao

I lost my finger in 2004 so now that it is sewn on I have no joint to bend it so I have a permanent sign
(middle finger) to carry around. bust gut laughing
