Performance Head Build - Some Assembly Required
If you're working with used heads, it's critical that they be cleaned and crack-tested before rebuilding-even if you're the one who used them. It's also critical to check the head surface, and Alvarez suggests doing so even with new heads. If you have a 0.003-inch gap between a straightedge and the head surface, you should have the head surfaced. If the gap is 0.004 inch, the head is bad, and you must surface it, according to Alvarez. View Related Article
