hexhamstu 9 Posted July 4, 2006 so a head skim should sort it, whack it all back together and i should be good to go? i cant seem to find a metal ruler about my garage, so havent really got a decent straight edge to test it agaisnt. i'll head down the shops and buy one i guess.

Kitch 4 Posted July 4, 2006 I'd get it pressure tested for cracks etc, and yeah check to see if it needs skimming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorr 0 Posted July 4, 2006 If you have the head off I would get it checked by a machine shop and polished or skimmed as required regardless of if the ruler test looks OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattmk1 0 Posted July 4, 2006 as mentioned it may be a crack in the block, head or the liner, Your best bet is to clean them up and have a good look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
