Place a machinist’s straight edge across the gasket mating surface. Using feeler gauges,
determine
the clearance at the center of the machinist’s straight edge and across the
cylinder head at several points. Check along the centerline and diagonally on the head
surface. If the warpage exceeds 0.003 in. (0.076 mm) within a 6.0 in. (15.2 cm) span, or
0.006 in. (0.152 mm) over the total length of the head, the cylinder head must be
resurfaced. After resurfacing the heads of a V-type engine, the intake manifold flange
surface should be checked, and if necessary, milled proportionally to allow for the change
in its mounting position.
Cracks & Physical Damage
Check the cylinder head for cracks in the spark plug holes, valve ports, exterior surface, or
in the valve spring/rocker arm area. Check the exhaust seat/port first as this becomes the
hottest area on a cylinder head.
Some reliable methods for finding cracks include Magnaflux®, (a magnetic process) or
Zyglo®, (a dye penetrant). Magnaflux is used only on ferrous metal (cast iron) cylinder
heads. Zyglo is a method that uses a spray on fluorescent mixture along with a black light
to reveal the cracks and is suitable for aluminum cylinder heads
Check for physical damage such as a broken mounting ear from dropping the head or a
bent or broken stud and/or bolt. These defects should be repaired or the head should be
replaced.

Refinishing & Repairing
Valves
Any valves that were not replaced should be refaced and the tips ground flat. If the valves
are in extremely good condition, as well as the valve seats and guides, they may be
lapped in without performing machine work.
It is recommended to lap the valves even after machine work has been performed and/or
new valves are used. This ensures a positive seal between the valve and seat.
