Cylinder Head Dimension
jones:
I own a Polish built 126 here in Australia (actually I have two, less said about that the better).
After leaving the poor little thing at the back of the shed for too long, I have recommenced a minor rejuvenation. To this end, I removed the head, intending to shave some metal for a compression ratio upgrade.
I am following the advice of the Blitz racing guy that is referenced on this forum, However, before I hand my head over to my local cylinder head guy I thought I should be sure it hasn't been shaved already - there are indications that it has been off the car before.
So, does anyone know a standard dimension (thickness) for these heads? Or, is there another way to determine if there has been metal removed?
thanks for your help.

Do you have the "8" head or the square head from a german build car. They need clean rings and a domed chaimber for the valves.
Do not have the dimentions on me.
But if you need more grunt, buy the head of an aircooled panda 30.
More expensive , but cheaper than getting the head rebuild....

And get your bum over to the English 126 forum. A world full of friendly people and more knowledge then you'll ever need...
Learned a lot over there , and i tinker with 126 and derivates for over 20 years now.
