Skimming head

[Danny2009]

As most of you know I've spat a rod or 2

When I built the engine I had the head skimmed and new valve stem seals put in

Question is will it need skimming again or cani just clean it up put a new headgasket on and bolt it onto a block with more conrods and less holes

Cheers

[cully]

have you looked at the head yet?
i think i would leave questions untill ive seen the valve/head face's

but yes you can put the head on another block but check the head is flat and true first

[Danny2009]

Not yet just stripping I down now obviously if there's marking its scrap but if it seems ok and it's not
Warped be ok to bolt back on Dosent need skimming again?

If it was fine before as long as its not cooked and no pistons destroyed it no reason it shouldn't still be fine just check it with a flat gauge

[Piggy]

even without seeing it I cant imagine it will be in great shape after such catastrophic bottom end failure

[Danny2009]

Is tons are destroyed at the bottom the crown is fine and no sign of valve damage seems ok

[darrenjlobb]

Only damage ive ever done is bend valves....rod failure at worst will just put piston up against the valve, but in general this donst even happen due to boost blowing the pistons down the bores, hence why the pistons all end up munched up up the bottom first...

No reason to need to skim it unless you cooked it, which you didnt.

Thought it would be ok to bolt back on due to hg not going ect but just wanted it clearing up

Cheers lads
