The cylinder head caused a lot of pain.

 As the car stood for decades, the valves were in open position in two cylinders. In theese cylinders, the alloy of the head oxided very-very badly. We had quite bad feelings about it. We even bought another cylinder head, just in case the repair procedure doesnt work.



Finaly I found a company, who had experience with theese heads, and gave them a chance. Inspite, they did a perfect job. They velded up the missing material, replaced the valve seats, valve guides, cut new seatings in a manner just as I wanted, line bored the camshaft bearing caps, and skimmed all the mating surfaces. I was very pleased


Polishing as per factory.


Nice "Old gold" paint.


New valves.


Camshaft bearing clearances checked.



Also each valve giude-to-stem clearance was checked.


Just as the spring heights.


Finaly we put in the valves.
