The machinist I took the head to is very experienced. He also did all the machining for my B30. My concern was addressed by "Kentucky". Thanks. I didn't know if the head could be machined with the cam assembled. The "cooking" procedure was what I was taught, but I was unsure what the limit was.
Two more questions: With the head off, what is the best way to prep the block surface? As of right now, I have all the HG residue scraped off using a gasket scraper and cleaned with brake cleaner. Is there anything else that should be done?
Also, I noticed today vertical scuff marks on all four cylinder walls, right hand side of the block. Is this something I should be concerned with? If it matters, I can still see the cross-hatch on all cylinders and as far as I know, this is the first time this engine has been opened.
Thanks again,
Nick
