er.. not what your were thinking XD
Just got mah head back from being balanced and I'll be a son of a bitch (no pun intended XD) if he didn't at least try to clean it. So I'll be cleaning it up nice and good soon enough ^^ I've kinda started on it already as you can see from cylinder 1. I so need a higher RPM Dremel >_<
Got the ports cleaned already and are nice and flat for a new seal ^^ everyting else is gonna be a bitch >_> considering i don't have a valve spring compressor to get in there deep and really do some serious cleaning, I did however get a mini powerball and soaked it in WD-40 as well as the head and god... all the shit that came out of there *shivers* >_<

Don't forget the "head correction" step, even if they are invisible, your "aggressive" cleaning method left scratch on the face of the head. If you don't bring the head to a specialist for removing these scratch it could leak again in a short time even more it was overheat and deformed by the heat
And I am, the brush isn't course as some think it is. as for the head dips, i'm using another brush but it's flat, made it easy to get all the deposits and shit out of the head, will be taking a dremel to it and fine clean it once I finish all the big stuff to see what was left behind
Even if they are invisible, the scratch exists and all of them is a potential leak seed. Even without the "flattening" of the surface (I don't know the technical term for the process) it will work but less time than with.
The purpose of the "flattening" is to remove scratch, gaps made by previous leakage (corrosive action) and deformation caused by a lack of coolant and subsequent overheat
This "flattening" couldn't be done manually by using glass paper even if you have a mirror finish because the need is to be perfectly flat too.

The 'flattening' you're referring to is called machining, this head was already tested as I said in the description not only that I'm using thick gaskets anyway just incase I am plagued with your micro scratches as you call it. I highly doubt it would make a diff dude, unless you did something just that stupid as to not use a gasket, not torque down your mains, or all of the above.
I know what I'm doing here.

it's a common thing to think it wouldn't make a diff, just because it's hard to have a correct idea of the normal lifetime of the head gasket. Some people are happy if it run for 50 000 km even if it's short for other.
If the head wasn't overheat and hasn't any tiny gap made by leakage of course the gain is low =>"not make a diff"
and thanks for the "machining" that I was unable to translate by myself.

Ok ya bloke, you're kinda just ranting things I already am aware of and looping it sounds like. Are you trying to come off as a know-it-all?
FYI, no this engine was not overheated... I wish you'd stop making random assumptions what you THINK this engine has been through or my intelligence and how to properly tend to it.
Also, you're very welcome on the proper term there bub, it was you repeating me with 'flattening' instead of machining or balancing... not even a certified mechanic uses 'flattening' as a term, hell, 'resurfacing' would have worked too, but flattening? sorry, no dice lol :P

I apologise for the looping, but as English is not my mother tongue I just tried to improve the understandability (because I was not sure at all to be clear) and so the loop effect.
With the right word, if I had to do it again it would be just "Will you machining it?" and the your answer would be "no"

lol, ok dude, just sit back and watch ok? I'm not as dumb as I may appear to be, I've rebuilt plenty of engines and witnessed plenty of rebuilds over the 10yrs I've been a petrolhead.
If I do something wrong with this engine, rest assured
will bite my head off for it and chew me up for it lol
I'll have a cardomain.com page/profile for this rebuild project soon enough so you'll be able to keep up with progress if you're that interested. :)

Are you a Z Car Specialist? I Kinda doubt it. Having a very fine sanding will help smooth the metal but you can NEVER get right of the scratches that are on it! Ive used that same method on an aluminum headed engine and Its still going strong with no blow by coolant leak or anything at all and its now pushing 200K miles.
To be honest, You seem like you just go back to auto schooling

lol sense i know what you got now....ever thought of dropping in a RB25DETT or a VG30 engine? Or youre not into all that? *lol just wanted to know, i think you can make a bit more power out the stock block too, but the other two are a bit bigger, and you might want to keep it all original,*
