Technical Skinz' GSR Tuned Cylinder Head Thread

Not hugely, unless it's on the bearing surfaces, in which case it's too late!

If it's just on the base and lifting circle, a light scrub with one of those green plastic thingies you use to clean pots in the kitchen dunked in oil should get it off. Try and keep everything free of pan scrubber particles.

Fair enough , some flakes of red paint knocking around the bearing too (haven't a clue why, verrrrrrrry random) will have it out again and see if i can get rid of them before i use it

Just be gentle with the aluminium bits. You can be pretty tough on the cam itself, but no abrasive papers.

Maybe just the intense zoom, but make sure all the parts are meticulous, the moving parts anyway, looks like some grit or something in there.

Give it a soaking of oil, and it should turn fine, don't force it if not though, it is a lot trickier to turn when not bolted to the block though.

Can't see any grit, dust maybe?

Doesn't look like the oil feed pipe is fully in the head

Well everythings tight hmmmmm :chin:

Looking at the cam, there's red **** everywhere, it does look like paint flakes but i'm not sure

Yeah, prob is just dust, just the zoom makes everything look worse lol


With regards to the oil feed, it may need bending a bit, back into shape, so it mounts properly with the head.

I'm sure the red must be paint, can't be much else....get a bowl of white spirit, isopropynol, petrol etc and scrub it and dry it all. Should shift it

The Oil feed seems in properly to me though, won't go any further in!

It taps in with a soft hammer (or a bit of wood on top). But thats only going by the two heads i've worked on, yours may well be sealing ok, just looks like its not fully in to me. You may be fine. Worth taking the cover off your current engine and checking it against that.
