rayaapp2 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) I am looking for someone to tell me how to check the heads current thickness so that I can determine how much meat has been milled off the gasket surface. I dont have any specs and I am not sure if there is a specific place/places to check the height. What is the std thickness for our the the L series heads? Does that thickness vary in each casting or relatively the same? In my particular case I have an E31 that has obviously been milled before and Im milling it again. I need to know how much surface is missing to compensate the cam towers. Ray Edited March 18, 2010 by rayaapp2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue72 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Everything I've ever read points to the uncut thickness of an L cylinder head as 107.9mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayaapp2 Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 From valve cover base to head gasket surface? Any particular areas that I should be measuring from (i.e. on the back of the head, front of head, and each side)? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
