information as well as some general guidelines to follow when you are considering having one rebuilt. It is always
recommended to use a local qualified machine shop service to perform these repairs.

CYLINDER HEAD INSPECTION
1. With the cylinder head removed from the engine, a general casting inspection needs to be made to determine if the cylinder
head can be salvaged. Consider the reason why the cylinder head is being removed and make sure no obvious casting damage
is present
2. Inspect to make sure all of the camshaft caps are present, installed, and are not damaged
3. Clean the carbon from the bottom deck surface
4. Inspect for impact damage from any foreign debris that may have entered a cylinder from another failure (dropped valve,
injector tip, foreign object entering the intake system, etc.). If casting damage is seen from impact damage, replace the cylinder
