<< < (2/2)

J13 MUD:
Just needs a bit of imagination to achieve the same result, most people have access to a steel rule and feeler gauge!!!

Range Rover Blues:
The thickness is imprtant though, after a coating of soot the pistons on an indirect injection touch the head, probably the same on a Di otherwise it won't run as well.  DTIs are not that expensive and if you are too tight you can hire them, or use a rule and feeler guages.  Skimming the head makes no difference as it's flat isn't it? the combustion chamber is in the piston (bowl) unlike the V8.
