Cylinder Head Inspection Guide

Required Materials:

  • A sufficiently large drain pan
  • Simple Green or Kerosene

Procedure:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the cylinder head is removed from the engine.

  2. Exhaust Port Test:

    • Carefully pour Simple Green or Kerosene into the exhaust port.
    • Observe for any leakage around the valve into the combustion chamber.
  3. Intake Port Test:

    • Pour Simple Green or Kerosene into the intake port.
    • Monitor for any solvent seepage, which indicates the necessity for a valve job or the presence of bent valves.

Note:

  • If leakage is detected in either test, further inspection and repair of the valves are required.
