I'm working on a head program for guy here in SD. He had a similar problem I believe a member here had, and that was his chambers were too small for his 2056cc engine. (edited, he's using a 71mm crank and 96mm slugs)

Facing large barrel shimming, which he didn't want, I worked this up for him.

perfect 60cc chambers, his non 2.0L heads will now install with a .045 shim , he has a zero deck, giving (I believe) a 8.5:1 compression ratio.

This method of modifying heads results in perfectly matched chambers (and ports for him), so when he gets them back they will technically be blueprinted to within .001".

not a 2.0L head granted, but thats sometin else and this is within his budget.

I've been playing with video and thought I'd post this of the head machining. Better than TV in person, but on video? not so sure.


After the seats were installed in these heads, and in most, there was a fairly uneven lip where the seat was proud or recessed into the chamber floor.

The initial roughing of the chamber looked nice, but still hadn't cut deep enough to totally clean the chamber floor, leaving areas of the orginal chamber showing. So after the seats where installed I zeroed the table and ran the program again on both heads one after the other.

By running both on the same talble and setup sequentially, without adjusting the height between the heads it was possible to see how different the chambers on this matched set of heads was.

One removed a good .020" more from the base of the chamber while the other just kissed it, worrying to watch!

After both chambers were finished with the final passes and all the seats were then totally flush with the chamber floors they were moved to the next station and bored and surfaced. It was only during the surfacing that it was possible to see that the chambers were no where near identical. Both heads cleaned up to exactly the same depth when surfacing while there was that frightening .020" difference in the floor of the chambers.

In the end these ended up exactly the same without a doubt, and the seats are flushed and should make an easy valve job.

sorry for the SHAKY VIDEO but the camera is the size of a pack of smokes.
