i know what the measurments should be but is the small nib at the bottom of the thermostat housing the limit indicator type bit,when you know its had its last skim?

ie if its flush thats it it cant be skimmed again?

 

the brass bit.

that can be knocked in if you hit it.

the head thickness will tell you if it can/should be used not a little brass plug thingy

 

na not that dave

was just looking at the head i bought and the bottom of the mount holes for thermo is skimmed flush??????????????????

 

ah....not really noticed then tbh.

i always look at the bit where the ect/blue temp sensor is bolted to,the mount that the sensor is bolted to is not skimmed but the head is,if you look at the two you can see the difference in then and can get an idea from that.

well thats what i look at anyway.

can just look how close the valves are to the surface too.

 

cool


dropped car off to get the new brakes fitted tonight dave

looking forward to getting it back

 

could you not fit them yourself.

be well better,well i hope so after the money you must have spent on them,hope you can tell the difference.

 

ive never seen a head yet with the blue water temp housing not machined

my head has had never been skimmed until i had it done and that housing was machined

 

i could but knowing my luck id get it all fitted and not have the right flexis or something and the car be stranded outside my house

as its kept at my folks garage

my mates a great mechanic and does most of the work on my car and dont cost much so cant complain

 

well they are lazy then as the housing comes off with the 2 allen key bolts and you even get a gaslet in the head set for it.

the heads i have had,the housing has never been skimmed.

 

How about these ferriday decompression plates?are they any good? i recently put and engine together for someone with one and i aint yet tried it.

 

col cos1

might aswell let him do it then.

 

don't personally know anyone who has used one.

 

lee2cossies
they do drop the comprison down but its also the squwise area that is most affected
