Re: How much can be milled off the Cylinder head?
Only short update:
CH was mounted in the weekend and with original cam timing the valves seems to go free.
Well, original but some 2-3 degress too late due to the too long cam chain now.
The total height of the cylinderhead is now 126,6 mm, which is 2.5 mm off compared to std.
After advice from my machine shop, I also checked how spark plugs are in relation to the piston and in fact the exhaust side plug is about 2.6 mm under gasket surface. (inlet plug is still fully over the gasket surface)
Fortunately, the lowest part of the side electrode is a bit inside the piston bowl, so it goes free still.
Dieselstarter fitted without problem and turns the engine fine so that I got full oilpressure after a while and hope that all valve lash adjusters are filled correctly now. :-)
I will take off the valve cover again though to check if its the case to be sure of no valve clashes once more.
Next weekend will be the exciting start up, if no unexpected happenings like snow-storm or such occurs.
Update: Unforunately I found a small crack in the exhaust manifold, so things are delayed a bit until I get it too sorted..:
