Porsche 968 - Block and Head cleanup - No commentary

With the head out of the car, I set to work on getting the surfaces cleaned up. It's under the minumum wear limit, but everything checks out as flat, so I'll run the same thickeness head gasket that was in it previously and put it all back together.

While it's out I put a heli-coil in a stripped out hole for one of the valve cover bolts -- coincidently the same one that I'll need to set the cam timing.

This will be the last video focusing on the cylinder head for a bit, as I'm waiting on parts. Next video will be me working on other areas of the car.
