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.
