Cully's spare Gti6 engine

[cully]

been on the phone today trying to find info about head heights std and max skim depths
the engine machine shop that my mate uses didn't know the tech on the XU10J4RS head so had to think who to phone,
i chanced my luck and phoned Peugeot Exeter and i got through to a helpful chap who did the trawling and phoned me back

according to Peugeot Exeter
the 16valve rs head should be stamped on the casting with an ® on the inlet side near the cam sensor on a machined plate.
the maximum you can skim the head is 0.2mm
the head new hight between finished faces Top>Bottom between cam seal end is
137mm New so the maximum you can skim too is 136.8mm

and guess what my head is................yup 136.8mm

   

so now Ive got to find out if the head is true/flat so tomorrow in my dinner hour
if found that we have an engineers plate in work and some engineers blue so i should be able to do this myself

but the engine place my mate uses did say he would check it for free
his prices for work are
skim £25+vat
3 seat cut valve grind is £5.50+Vat per valve

so tomorrow will tel me if i have a flathead

other info i found
8 valve head stamped R2, new hight 137mm, max skim 0.4mm.
