I removed the cylinder heads today and found some metal damage in the #1 combustion chamber.
Can this head be repaired? There is a machine shop near me that does cylinder head repairs, but I'm not sure if they have experience repairing these Type 4 heads. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good machine shop in the Los Angeles area? I also found heavy scoring in the #4 cylinder. The cylinder wall is very rough. ![]() I think I'll need a new piston and cylinder set. I measured the piston at 93.3 mm, which I believe is the stock size for a 2.0L engine. I'm looking at this kit. Is this the correct one for a stock 2.0L? https://www.autohausaz.com/pn/12512365-AA-1...uxoC63oQAvD_BwE |

After doing more research, I think it's better to buy a new set.
First, the machine shop quoted me **$350 per head** just for the rebuild, and that doesn't include any additional machine work. Second, these don't appear to be the original heads. They have **4 intake studs**, and if the cylinders are **93 mm**, I believe they're from a **1.8L** engine, while my engine number indicates it's a **2.0L**. I think I'll end up creating a bigger mess if I try to save them. Can anyone recommend a good source to buy the correct heads and cylinders? Thank you! |
