Skyy Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 I want to mill the head but im not shure if the previous owner already did, and I was wondering if there is a way to know or mesure to make shure I dont go and mill it too much. Quote
BenBB Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Only way to know for sure is to CC the domes, and even then if it HAS been shaved already it's gonna be kinda difficult to tell how much more you can get away with, hopefully someone else can add more... One thing you can kind of eyeball is the domes, if they are inset from the gasket mating surface about a millimeter or 1.5mm, it's prolly stock, if the domes are NOT inset and are flush with the gasket surface, it's already got about .050" to .060" taken off.

RBD Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Skyy, If you can give me the dimensions of your head at the head bolt stud areas (from where the head nut surface is to the head gasket surface) in thoundths of and inch I could tell you if it has been milled. I would also need to know what the markings are on the top of the head. It will have a raised lettering 2GU and under that it will have either a Y-1 or a Y-2. Ron Quote

Skyy Posted February 27, 2005 Author Report Posted February 27, 2005 (edited) ok RBD, got the head out today and I mesured from the head bolt stud areas to the head gasket surface, and this is what I get with a dial caliper, 0.908. Edited February 27, 2005 by Skyy Quote
