Hello All,
I need to actively start to put my engine back together. I had the head
re-done but I know its too thin. I want to cc my heads so I can figure out
how thick of a head gasket I need to bring the compression down to about 8-1
and to restore the correct valve train geometry. Has anybody ever done this
before and would you please give me some guidance.
I understand that you fill the combustion chamber up with a measured
amount of light oil and that it helps to put a piece of flat glass over the
head to know when you have really exactly filled the chamber.
So how do I do this exactly? I imagine I will have to figure out a way to
mount the head to my workbench and to get/keep the head perfectly level. I
am also going to need to turn the crankshaft to close all the valves. How
do I do that when the head is off the engine and sitting on my workbench
(without screwing everything up??).
Thanks,
