Skimmed Head Thickness

[mikeyd 13]

is there any way of telling how much[if any] has been skimmed off an 8 valve head--depth of combustion chambers or is there a depth mark in the casting perhaps?

I don't think there is any other way than measuring the cc of the chambers on the head.

there is, you can measure the height of the head, figures are in the Haynes manual IIRC.

Thanks Damir.

Can't see it in any of my Haynes after a quick browse but I wasn't aware of that.

 

Learn something new everyday, although iirc I'd seen it for the XU10 head before.
