Aluminium head gaskets
#17
I have yet to assess the valve travel, but having inspected and measured two heads it appears the bad one has had in the order of 0.100" removed, possibly more on the basis that the thicker one also has clear signs of skimming... 

That's rather a lot of metal... perhaps I'd be better off taking my own advice (re speedos) and getting rid of it in favour of a better one. Silk purses, pig's ears and all that..!

Still interested to know if anyone has experience of metal spraying in such circumstances. There's a little bit on the net to suggest that might be a possibility..?
