rebuilt cylinder heads
I am planning to remove the heads on my 6liter and send them to be rebuilt... Does anyone have any recommended shops? I will send them by mail... I'm just looking to have them reconditioned not modified

it may just be cheeper to buy a stright edge and some feeler gauges. to test the valves for leakage just fill the ports with water and check the valve face for wetness.

What is considered "An Approved Scrapper" what about a wire brush would that work?

Thanks Cheezit.
I looked up Loctite 262 and It appears to be resistant to everything.. Gas, oil, acetone , ethanol etc etc etc...

I am currently trying to clean the engine deck where the heads sit. I have the motocraft metal surface prep cleaner. I applied the metal surface cleaner and left it for a few minutes. It doesn't seam to make any difference.... I understand I shouldn't use a wire brush but what about a brass bristled tool for a dremel tool? Can I use a scotch bright bad? what about a razor blade?
currently there is old gasket material, hard black crust and rust near the coolant holes. Is the metal surface prep suppose to remove all of this? I assume I want the deck to be perfectly clear?

keep one thing in mind when doing this the idea is to have a clean area, there is no need to remove stains from the sealing serface as doing so is also removing metal.
the act of removing metal will change the RMS of the part you are working on.
