750 Head ?
« on: September 24, 2012, 12:57:10 PM »
Just a question and a heads up. (Pun intended)
I had the head on my K4 750  milled. I noticed the oil jet holes where the cam towers bolt on are too big. It seems the oil jets fell out. One was in the bottom of the milling machine the other one is AWOL. I might have blown it out when cleaning it. Maybe at the car wash. I'm assuming I can remove one from another head and put it in here, the question is how? Blow them out with air? Does the cam tower hold them in place?

Those jets come out easy. Their often stuck to the bottom of the cam tower when you remove it.

I bought the 0 rings already, just got a little lesson. The cam towers aren't mounted yet but the head is torqued.

Don, I am curious to see how this turns out for you. I had my head milled, then did it myself and I've had head gasket seating issues since.

You might check the two dowels that go between the head and cylinders at the 2 front outer studs. If their too long the head won't seat.
