How to Resurface a Cylinder Head at Home

In order for a cylinder head to work properly, it needs to have a near perfectly flat surface to seal against the head gasket. In this video, we show how we machined our cylinder head at home, with a flat surface, a piece of sandpaper and some light pressure. The result has proven to work, as the engine is still to this day operating fine.

The "proper" way to machine a cylinder head is by having a machine shop do it on a surface grinder. However, these problems often pop up when you least expect it. Maybe you need to get the car back on the road asap. Maybe you cant afford to have it done the 'proper' way. Whatever the case, this basic DIY repair job is do-able in your own home with basic tools you probably already own.

This may or may not work properly for your circumstance, depending on how bad the cylinder head is to start with, as well as the engine block surface. Many metal style gaskets will require a near mirror finish to seal, which must be achieved by a machine. However, this repair may get you out of trouble for a short time.
*dislaimer* - Only work on your own vehicle if you are allowed to in your region/country/state/town. Otherwise, make sure this job is carried out by a licenced mechanic.
