race450 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Well i got a question if you mill it do you have to get the cylinders bored? Quote
lian Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Posted February 18, 2004 no i have never heard of that you just get your head milled and the only thing you have to do is check the clearenc Quote
boonman Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 If your motor is stock, and nothing else is changed, milling the head .025" you won't have to check a thing. Ih ave seen a couple oddball motors that at .030" off the head, had a marginal squish. But, they ran beautiful on pump fuel at sea level without a problem. I have pics up in the images forum of how I do cylinder heads, and I can assure you that you won't get a better job anywhere else. Surface grinder provides the cleanest finish possible. better than stock. And I chhamfer all the coolant openings. And debur the entire thing. You get the head back, and it is ready to bolt on.....

erbilabuc Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Yo. I have one and I will sell it to you for 45$ shipped, looks pretty good and I got it off one of the BHQ members about 1 week ago but the guy I bought it for doesnt want it. It comes painted anodyzed purple or I can strip the paint for you. I paid 46$ for it but if I dont need it then I dont want it. Theres a few pits but they were there already before it was milled and they arent anything major. You have to rmember you are in Canada so shipping is a little more, if you were in US i would say 40$ shipped here it is Quote
Atvrider_96 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 You guys said he uses a grinder to mill the head? I used a milling machine to do my head it was a world of difference. I took off .035 and man is it fast. well at least fast enough it's not no draggster by all means. Quote

boonman Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Yes. A surface grinder to machine the head. You can't use a grinder to "mill" anything. lol Anyways, the mill, if not "trammed" in properly, can dish the head. I also love the finish that I get off the surface grinder as opposed to fly-cutting it on a mill. It doesn't really take me that much longer to do it on the grinder, and the work is that much better.... Quote
Atvrider_96 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 thats really good that you can mill it with a grinder i am impressed! Quote
boonman Posted February 18, 2004 Report Posted February 18, 2004 Cool. Although, I still, to this day, do not grind anything on the mill. But, nonetheless, I am glad that you are impressed. Quote
