Removing plug tubes from 4e head.


Recommended Posts

You don't need to remove them to skim the head but yes you can remove them the same way you can remove valve seats from the 4e heads. I use an old BBQ and cook it for a few hours. Same with re fitting them. But I wouldn't suggest sticking it on the BBQ after skimming it.

The problem i have with leaving them in is i have to stick it on parallels on the rocker face leaving the block face at an angle. The problem here is i dont have a fly cutter big enough to stick the head on the mill over and do it in one cut.

So if i can remove them i can clamp it on an angle plate much easier and clock the head flat and buzz over it that way. I can also use the cnc then which is much more accurate.

Ideally i would use a surfsce grinder but we dont have any wheels suitable for ally.

Cheers for the tip though, i have large ovens at work so could always bake it in of them for a while before and after. Cheers
