Do L92's need to be surfaced before install?
Do L92's need to be surfaced before install? I just purchased a new set of these heads and was wondering if they would need to be decked before install? I just pulled them out of the box and they look good, but I can feel VERY slight lines where they were cut previously from factory. I want to make sure I dont have any sealing problems with them, and was wondering if maybe a re-deck could maybe come out smoother?? I want to keep the chambers as big as possible.. I have a 6.0L with a forged bottom end and a turbo on it and plan on pushing a pretty good amount of boost with these on cometic gaskets (and a coat of copper sealer). Do I need to worry about anything?
We generally surface all the L92 heads we do. A lot of the cores we've recieved have had some sort of nick or scratch in the sealing surface, so we generally surface all of them. Checking them with a straight edge would also help determine if you need to surface them.
Good luck,
