Re: Head Surfacing Mill Setup
i have used the head stud holes with some jacking screws to level the head and the 4 spark plug holes to bolt it to the table

Re: Head Surfacing Mill Setup
You didn't say what kind of head ---but the principle is the same ---this is on 4 "123" blocks, stud and nut through 2 sparkplug holes to tie it diwn

Re: Head Surfacing Mill Setup
[QUOTE=Kurt in NJ;746246] ----if you want to do many of the same heads you would make a plate with fixed jacking screws
As Kurt suggests is what I have. A base plate with 4 threaded studs that match the bolt pattern of the head. Two spark plug holes are used to secure the head to the jig/support. It is surprizing how much varience there is in the heads...I'm constantly adjusting the nuts on the threaded studs to allow the head to rest on all four supports. I have an adjustable fly cutter that will surface the entire width of the head in one pass. I typically take .004" at each pass until close and then finish with a .002" cut. I am away from the shop at the moment. I will post a couple photos late today of the support jig. Good Day! Last edited by Dave in MN; 10-19-2013 at 08:50 AM. |

Re: Head Surfacing Mill Setup
Thanks Dave and the others. I am going to resurface only one head or two at the most. The machine belongs to a friend of mine and is a machine of Taiwanese origin. I still have to check to see if it even has enough travel to machine a head.
