33661, When is warped head out of service limit?? Posted by fasterGS, Sep-26-02 06:05 AM The above question came up today, I am just curious for the answer. I talked to a guy today that was having his head rebuilt, and his mechanic told him that the head was warped 5/1000 of an inch... is that reusable or does it need to be shaved?? And as said above, what is the actual service limit??
33662, RE: When is warped head out of service limit?? Posted by MetalJim, Sep-26-02 06:23 AM The limit is 1 mm(.004 in.). Sounds like he needs a shave. ride__________95 Eclipse RS : 5 speed power________Gude cams : AFX UDP : ram air : test pipe : Thrush glasspack suspention___BOMZ F/R upper strut bars : ES inserts shizzle_______AutoCommand remote start : Dual air horns : Kenwood KDC 5000 : Rampage sub incomming___lower strut bars : Jeep TB

33666, RE: When is warped head out of service limit?? Posted by Breezio, Sep-28-02 10:22 AM there is a right right by this one.. he got his milled 7/1000th.. so i'm guessing 5/1000th would be alright.. haha.
