2.5l STi Type UK Cylinder heads

[sinny]

Hiya folks,

The problem Is there is very slight scoring on the camshaft journels nearest timing belt end, you can just feel it with your fingernail. Needing a bit of advice what to do with the heads,can they be reconditioned and if so any recomendations?

Thanks for any advice given

cheers

If you can feel anything with your nail I would suggest its gubbed. The journals would need to be line bored but whether that is possible would depend on the damage as there is obviously a finite amount of material that can be removed. I would suggest that it is only a matter of time until the cam bearings also show wear/damage.

Given your location perhaps a phone call to someone like Steve Whitson may be appropriate.

They'll probably be dual AVCS but I believe they can be used
