Allowable Head Stock Removal On
1984 Chrysler(Renault) Encore 2.5L (150 CID) Engines
Engine overheating and other causes that lead to warpage and
leaks may prompt more late model aluminum cylinder heads to start
appearing in machine shops. Care should be used in obtaining
correct machining specifications.
An unmachined cylinder head on the above subject engine is
allowed to have .020 removed according to Chrysler (AMC) before
it is considered to be scrap. In one particular case the dealer
organization told the machinist only .005 could be removed.
Many aluminum cylinder heads may be saved by following sound
straightening methods before machining, such as those suggested
in Straightening Aluminum Cylinder Heads, published by AERA and
sent to all members last year or those outlined in the 1982
Proceedings.
