What's goin on guys, just had a quick question about the cylinder head on our blasters. I picked up a nice head for $12, I didn't need it but for the price and condition its in I figured why not. So far I painted it in high temp flat black and sanded the tops of the cooling fins ( yes I stole the idea from some people on here, it looked so sick I couldn't resist haha ). I was gonna lap the gasket mating surface down a little bit but I wanted to make sure it wasn't possibly done already. If anyone knows the stock height of the gasket mating surface id really appreciate it !

I could measure it for you. My top end is apart. Let me make sure I'm measuring the correct thing. Is it the raised area on the head where the gasket sits on?
Yupp but the part actually sits on the gasket. It goes cylinder/jug, then the gasket, then that silver circular part on the head sits on ( or mates with ) the gasket.
The used one I just picked up is like 2 1/2 mm, but that seems short to me like someone lapped it already ... I don't know for sure tho ?
Thanks bro ... I'm plannin on sendin my flywheel to Ken to get lightened, it'd probly be a good idea to send him my flywheel and head at the same time and save a few bucks on shipping. You have any idea how much the head work might cost ( ballpark ) ?
That ain't bad at all ... I e-mailed him about the flywheel and he said its $75 now cause prices went up but he didn't update his website yet, hopefully the head mod isn't too much more now. I could live with $140 or $150 for both. Thanks for the help and advice, your the man bro !
