Hi there,

I cannot clean the surface better than this, and I put an arrow to show my areas of concern:





They are pitted and I can feel them with the finger.

Machine shop for resurfacing?

If so, I guess I have to inform whoever will do that of this:

Height New: 146.1mm
Min. after machining: 145.6mm

This is not a common car in my area, actually my car is the only one in NA with this engine. I doubt that the machine shop(s) in my city has ever machined one of those before, and if they did it was probably a long time ago.

Can they resurface it without removing the valves?

Any other info that you think could be useful to them?

Thank you,
Alessandro
