This is not the way to do it. The head will look very pretty but will not be flat. If you want a flat beautiful cylinder head mating surface, use a glass plate, or a marble or granite tile, as a reference. With an orbital sander you are not accomplishing anything other than polishing peaks and valleys

You put the dye on first. Your supposed to clean(clear stuff), then spray dye red stuff,then developer(white stuff) developer pulls dye through cracks for leak testing. To just amplify already visual cracks you could probably just use dye. If you had a crack in combustion chamber you could spray dye then put developer in water jackets and itll pull red through crack so its all white except a red line. Thats why you wait so the dye seeps into cracks.

You need to watch “Project Farm” video on air filters . K&N are HORRIBLE on Jeeps or offroad vehicles . They will dust and ruin your engine.. it is a Jeep not a corvette . And yea dont go in the water with that jeep no more either unless ya wanna hydro lock the engine.. the stock air box allows the engine to breath dry air in extremely wet conditions where K&N is just straight water to the engine .. But hey not my Jeep go for it ..

Good job, and I'm sure the machine shop boys will feel uncomfortable with the idea of sanding a head down flat, but ot works if you're dedicated and careful. It also means you're only removing the bare minimum of material by this method.

@restosandrevivals45978 ай бұрын
It depends on the head, some valves sit below the deck surface. Most heads can but it’s risky. You don’t want all that filth making it’s way into your oil when you bolt it back down. It has to be perfectly clean inside and out.

first time watcher, very intelligent and elaborate explanations thank you, that outro caught me off guard lol I did something similar to this for my 2014 SRT8 392 hemi (6.4L) cylinder head but now have a huge oil leak. I googled, and read that it has a Fire Ring or Fire Deck built into the cylinder head -- I used a straight edge file and it took off a little bit more around the cylinder bore than the rest of the head, I read filing down this Fire Ring can actually compromise and scrap the head. Do you know anything about these Fire Rings?

That's an ok technique. I guess. I prefer to use a cinder block. I just knock off the loose gravel and go to town. Works great. I'll throw some crisco on there every once in a while to keep it lubed. Head gasket seals fine. Just like yours will !! Keep on sanding.

Great video and tips. I am working on similar heads for my ford 4.0 SOHC. Lapping the new valves right now and holding onto the old valves to do some porting and polishing before fully reassembling things. Look forward to your upcoming video on the port and polish. This is my first go with SOHC heads, most of my experience is porting and polishing old V8 ford heads.

@@curtispaul9717 Thank you for the insight. I am a bit weary of doing aluminum heads and it makes sense about the cam. Finding more performance cams for the 4.0 sohc seems to be quite a challenge. Honestly the engine makes good power as it is with a few mods. The 03 ranger it is in is a hoot to drive. I have ported and matched iron heads when I built a 69 390 to replace the worn out 352 in my 66 f250. That one I did put a higher lift cam in and added ram air among other mods to increase performance. Lots of fun getting sideways in a 2 ton truck when you mash it and beating newer 5.0 mustangs off the line till they caught me around 85mph, the truck had a top speed of 103 downhill, hehe. Its a stump puller but was still fun. I also plan on doing head work on the 400 in my 77 tbird with a hotter cam. Will pull the motor when I pull the front clip and fender to replace the parts from being t-boned, sigh.
