Cylinder head

You might want to take this head to your automotive machine shop for a skim cut on the mating surface to ensure it is flat. Then carefully run a tap in each hole to ensure threads are clean. Blow the hole out with compressed air, you want it clean. Then wire wheel the bolt threads to be clean . At assembly, put a light coating of oil on bolt threads. Only a clean oiled thread will give the correct torque reading.
