Just taken the head off the block and am looking at this:With gasket still in place:  Gasket removed:  Bores:     Can't see any rust so is this block service-able? Also, on the head, how could you tell if it's been skimmed in the past? I know there are supposed to be notches to indicate min amounts but I can't see them - where are they located? Oh and is this normal?   |

measure the overall height of the head, that'll tell you if it has been skimmed, it certainly needs it as there's a lot of corrosion there, bores look rather shiny.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

std height - 137 ± 0.05 minimum height - 136.8 ± 0.05 http://petrila.net/peugeot/Service/406d8/info/gb/b1db2ck3.htm the thrust side of your bores do look quite worn, also quite a lip at the top though not always a massive concern as it'll be carbon buildup above the top ring, best to measure the bores before going any further with that bottom end. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Given that there are three different types of inlet valve fitted I'd say the engine has been apart at least twice before, so the head has probably been skimmed twice at least.________________________________________ Rich |
