Cyclinder Head Advise

[Carbs4me 45]

Hello all,

 

I stripped my old cyclinder head down last nite getting it ready for a polish, and discovered this hole... will this effect the engine it at all, and what the circular hole for?

 

I was planning to use this head for a engine rebuild project... is it worth using?

 

Cheers

 

(Just noticed i have posted in the incorrect section sorry guys, im trying to do it on the quite at work its the 1.9 XU engine)

its an oil feed, the jagged hole is a drain

thanks welsh pug! looks rough so fought it may have been done by the previous owner.

 

I will probly have a million and one other questions aswell .. gotta strip my bottom end yet aswell!

 

How can i check for ware on where the caps that bolt onto the camshaft? that side is alittle bit rough, and i know you cant replace them because the caps where made to suit that cyclinder head only...

 

Cheers,

 

Ant
