Cb400f head thickness

<< < (2/2)

amx1992:

Measured it and its only 0.05mm difference between sides, however 0.6mm (22 thou ish) has been skimmed off. Wonder if i can i get away with making a 1mm base gasket to compensate

Trigger:
I am not sure where you are going with this. I skim heads day in, day out, so what is the problem with a head that has been skimmed. The aftermarket head gasket that you will be using is a lot thicker than the original Honda one that was fitted at the factory.

amx1992:
Fair enough, just thought 0.6mm was lot off the head, obviously i was wrong.

robvangulik:
So long as the valves don't reach the pistons, you'll only have more compression, which will benefit performance.
