So I was putting my head on and I had a buddy that was helping me, and he slipped a little a scraped the head on the dowel pins, which also look a little rough. I can feel the scratches with my finger and my fingernail, but because the scratches aren’t too close to anything, is there a chance that it’s still okay? I don’t really want to go get it resurfaced but if it needs to be done I’ll do it.
Thanks!
Copper spray on the head gasket and let it fly if you can't feel it with your fingernails. If you can catch it on with your nails then it will have to be surfaced.
And please, don't hit that with sandpaper. IT will then have a low spot in the surface. An intake or something else, sure, but not a head mating surface, unless it was on a full belt that is designed for surfacing heads. Do not spot sand a head surface.
Use a flat honing stone or fine file with no haldel layed flat, take the highs off. Although im willing to be it would be fine aluminum is soft, and or the head gasket will soak up the highs
I am rebuilding a D15B7. Would there be any benefit of running a D16Z6 crank pulley (for reliability)? Or should I stay with the B7 pulley. From what I can tell my B7 pulley in not dampened.
I am in the process of rebuilding a D16Z6. I actually have a bare block and crank from a different D16Z6. I was hoping to use OEM bearings but realized that maybe the machined sizes might not match?
I am showing the mains as D D C C D on the bare block and B C B B C on the crank if I am...
I have my newly built 1989 D16A6 running well and have accumulated 2300 miles at the present time. I went with forged CP pistons at .020 overbore and stock rods. The head was freshened up as well and milled .010 and I have a Y8 head gasket to increase the compression. After the initial break...
Hey guys, I hope everyone is having a great day. I wanted to know what everyone's opinion is on camshafts. I'm looking at getting Brian Crower Stage 2 camshaft for my d16y7. I want to get Brian Crower, Skunk2, or Blox racing. Which would be the best.
It looks like the AEM Z6 fuel rail has been discontinued and I'm wondering if there is another clear front runner to replace it if doing a Z6 build? I see a lot of generic rails on Ebay, but not sure I want to risk my build on those. Any help would be appreciated.
