Title: Head Skimming
Post by: simco1964 on March 15, 2017, 08:56:19 PM

Hi All,
         What is the maximum that can be skimmed off a CB400/4 cylinder head ? Just been told by the engineering company that they've removed 10 thou, which to me seems an extreme amount!!
    Can you purchase a thicker head gasket to compensate if needed?

Any feedback would be grateful

Cheers
Simon

10 thou is only a quarter of a mm and at least you have adjustable tappets.

Cheers,
           Just concerned regarding valve clearance and cam chain tensioning.
