Scored cam seats

Post by Ja99a »

I have a head I wanted to use but discovered some very deep scores when I removed the cams which were also well ruined, now I have spare caps and new cams do we think I can flat out the scores and use the head?

Please only reply if you have experience no speculators...

You cant use different cam caps to those that were produced with the cylinder head.

The head/caps are bored as 1 and so are unique.

time to buy a complete cylinder head

Agreed, in gonna try anyway :)

Plan is to sinch up caps lightly, and check fit, loose no good tight I will lap the components together, try it and inspect after running for a few hours ....
