The Straight Story: Part Two
The manifold nuts are removed and the manifold put aside so Alaniz can begin a somewhat lengthy evaluation process. This procedure actually starts when Alaniz fills out a detailed work order beforehand that helps determine the background of the head. The battery of questions includes whether or not the head came from a working car - junkyard heads can be problematic. Also, if the head was smoking, this could indicate cracks in the head or valve guides.
Other info Alaniz is looking for includes: engine application (street, drag, or road racing) - important to determining valve seat angles; fuel type to be used; cam type; piston diameter; block type; deck height; and gasket thickness. View Related Article
