PROCEDURE

Cylinder Head Stock Removal:





The cylinder head combustion deck may be refaced in whatever increments necessary to clean up the surface and maintain the surface finish and flatness tolerances. The combined total of stock removed must not exceed 1.00 mm (0.03937 inch). The amount of stock removed each time must be steel stamped above combustion deck edge, on the lower right hand corner of the rear face. Check valve protrusion after head surface refacing.

Surface finish requirements are 1.5-3.2 micrometers (60-126 microinch).

CLEANING
Clean the carbon from the injector nozzle seat with a nylon or brass brush.

Scrape the gasket residue from all gasket surfaces.

Wash the cylinder head in hot soapy water solution (88°C or 140°F).

After rinsing, use compressed air to dry the cylinder head.

Polish the gasket surface with 400 grid paper. Use an orbital sander or sanding block to maintain a flat surface.
