Came across this video trying to find out how you actually make sure the head is level when you're machining it? What is the actual process to ensure the head is level since the surface isn't flat
You just make sure the blocks you rest them on are exactly the same size. Im not an engineer. I just used to work in an engineering factory. But this was an easy job i used to do all the time.
nice job-i`m interested in the flybar, is the tip of the lathe tool centered in the middle of the shank? what type of radius works best on the tips at a guess from what i can see they are cnmg inserts?
im not sure mate. i was just an the driver for the company and always got stuck skimming the engines lol. it was a 30 min job. I cleaned the bottom of the block then put it on 2 parallels and carefully clamped it down. then used the tool you see. it had a triangle tip. i just made sure it was sharp. theirs a 2nd video of the finished product. thanks for looking
the tool was adjustable in case we got a wider engine. i would take less than a millimetre each pass. i think their were cnmg inserts. came in green box and were triangle.
My car is getting it's headgasket upgraded and getting skimmed and was super curious what it looks like

How does skimmed head and block affect timing chain?
Not sure sorry. I just worked at the engineering factory that skims them.

What is the approximate price for a cylinder head skim for a typical car ?
thanks
He used to charge £20 to £30 per head. only takes about an hour to do, if there not busy.
When is a cylinder head / a block deemed to be overskimmed?
Each car has a small room for error.. less than 200mm approx
What is the prices of this milling machines pls
Boss used to charge about £25 but that was over 5 years ago.
can I use surface grinding or milling machine for cylinder head resurface?
Milling would probably be best
