Cylinder Head: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Dodge Magnum, 2006 Dodge Charger, and 2006 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Inspect the cylinder head for out-of-flatness, using a straightedge and a feeler gauge. If tolerances exceed 0.0508 mm (0.002 in.) replace the cylinder head.
  2. Inspect the valve seats for damage. Service the valve seats as necessary.
  3. Inspect the valve guides for wear, cracks or looseness. If either condition exist, replace the cylinder head.
  4. Inspect pushrods. Replace worn or bent pushrods.
