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?

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!
