Reply to "Sanding block for cylinder heads"

Larry,

These heads were at a shop 1,000 miles ago for a complete valve job including head resurfacing. The engine was assembled at that time and has not been overheated (just over rev'd a bit). It looks like this head was still flat when I removed it this week. There was the typical amount of carbon and gasket material on the head. If it was warped, that would have shown up while sanding on the flat glass block. There would have been pockets of dirty areas surrounded by clean surfaces.

I also used a straight edge to ensure flatness of this cylinder head. To your point It is better to know now if there is a flatness problem than after the engine is assembled and being tested.

Thanks, Steve
