resurface heads?
- Thread starter motohed
- Start date
When you put a level on either head are there any gaps under the level? Do those marks have any texture?
i didn't check with a straight edge. im going to get them resurfaced tomorrow. don't wanna chance it. i think this is why i was loosing coolant. the metal is definately indented
What about those stage 2's?
i can see it now.... socal stage 2 heads donated by Jordan:hug:
Mine looked about the same and i cleaned them up,with 2+2 and a 3m scotch pad did not rub hard and most of that was sealer that came from the gaskets.
whats 2+2? i used a scotchbrite pad. i got 99% of the gasket material off. i actually have grooves perpendicular to the cylinder diameter. the gasket has radius ridges.
i port and polished my heads myself and replaced the valve stem seals. stock valves, springs and guides
There's a few companies that sell "kit's". They just sell you some speacial burs for your die grinder. I'll try and find a link.

This is what I found really quick but there's a good picture with it.

yeah I here they do good work over there at SOCAL, they did alot of work on a truck named Casper I beleive.:angel:
snap on di grinder with a aluminum hog bit. then polish with a sanding "drum/roll" kit( i guess you could call it) from summit. sanded from 80 to 120 to 400
matched the exhaust ports to the gasket along with the exhaust manifolds. smoothed out the radius turn and factory casting defects. opened up the valve bowls on the exhaust side
hope i explained in an understandable way
