GTI6 cylinder head - cully - 16-10-2015
I have a cylinder head that needs a skim!
i understand the head new is 137mm +-0.05 between the cam ladders
the maximum safe skim is to 136.8mm +-0.05 which = 0.2 of materiel can be removed
the head i have is already skimmed to 136.6mm
is this head toast or is there any options of saving it
seems a shame to scrap a head

my head was fully rebuilt and then a local skimmer ruined it by taking too much off :/

Could you use a marginally thicker head gasket to account for the extra skimming on the head?
RE: GTI6 cylinder head - cully - 16-10-2015
std J4RS Metal head gasket from pug is 1.2mm 0209 Z2
J4R lists but are Fibre
1.2mm 0209 N6
1.4mm 0209 T9
the 1.4 will only bring a max safe skim back to std hight
i havent had it skimmed yet and its passed safe skim

Not sure a local garage in your country have the made to order gasket or not ?
In my country I can order the made to order metal head gasket for many kind of engine, Like a 1JZ-GTE, 2JZ-GTE that is very popular for modification in my country.

Just use a thicker head gasket, no need to scrap the head.
Cometic makes gaskets made to order in whichever thickness you need.

nice hint of a sale thread on your third post
but i think i have enough engines here already of the RS type
RE: GTI6 cylinder head - lolsteve - 24-10-2015
Skim it some more, then stack two gaskets on top. If it's works out perfect then harrah! if not then it's the start of a low boost project

Ferriday engineering are good for this kind of stuff. Have a word and see what they think
