You explain things so well Danny. You give encouragement and confidence. I could actually hear the sound of the metal change as it became molten. You’re funny too, stop it...I know what you’re thinking.
Awesome stuff Bloke 👍 I get the sceptics/critics on my channel too, I`m always up for being shown an easier or more effective way to do things, however the same sceptics/critics never show me ! keep up with the priceless info. cheers
I never seen directly the process, but now i know what's it like and what it takes; and that's one of things that i like the most, it's not "snap the fingers and vualá!". Stay well
Great video Danny, very informative, and power to you ,for unselfishly sharing your years of experience, you’re right, there’s people that listen and learn from you, and then there’s the armchair engineers, 👨💻 you’re a legend mate. 👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺
Been tuning for 12 years. I've build a handful of engines myself including taking some high performance engine building classes. Love your videos this is the 3rd one I've watched and you just got my sub. Keep them going!
I watched you with Faye do this... A lot of guys will throw them in the junk pile... I've picked up many in my day out of that pile and put them on a freshened motor Edit::: Your damn good at explaining... I could never teach with words lol
Another Great video Danny, thank-you again for your great tricks+tips, and thank-you Shop Mom too😇 Been waiting for this one since you straightened Faye's head(That mighta sounded a bit weird...Stop It!) oh, Hi Faye!!...I like to haaang..with Danny, coz he's always learning us cool stuff🤣👍🇦🇺
Danny, you know Shop Mom told you about cleaning your tip after you use it. Great video! Keep them rolling! And thank you for all the knowledge you share.
This is definitely not for the faint of heart. Great video, my tip of the day, let the experts do it, Danny is an amazing machinist and has years of experience. Great job Danny.
Love these videos ,Danny. Thanks for the great content. First found you by watching the video where you showed faye this, and I've been a fan ever since. Fascinating stuff! - Chris
This is some great work. Thanks. I think you build up some serious stresses in that head by having those small melted areas pulling the rest of the material straight. Could you do some stress relief by throwing it in your oven at 400f for a few hours? It would probably reduce the chance of cracking the head by taking those internal stresses out of the material.
We do have a cylinder head oven with a straighting plate that we also use. As for cracking we have never had a come back and I’ve been using this technique for years.
Great video Danny really enjoy watching your videos and your thinking outside the box approach!!!! Thumbs up if Danny is the best Machinist you have ever seen!!!
Like Danny said you can surface a head until there is nothing left and if you can't turn the cam when you're done then you wasted a lot of time and money. Not a quotation.
@@TheDracfink never had much luck with the machine shops around here. Never could afford them. So I've learned over the years to do all my own repairs and then had a career change into the automotive repair industry and been loving it ever since.
Saw you do this on Faye's cylinder head last year, was amazing! Still impressive, you make it look really easy. Would there be any reason to do this on a head that wasn't overhead cam? As always, thanks for your time and talent!!
Hey Danny you’ve inspired me to straighten my head at home in the garage! It’s a Honda k24 dohc. I’ve got .009” warp in the centre closer to the exhaust side, exactly like ones I’ve seen you fix. If I straighten using the block how thick of shims would you suggest on each end? Thanks!! I’m willing to buy a press if needed, if you say a press is exponentially better I will do that. Thanks danny
Awesome that your doing it yourself!!!! I’ll usually double the shim size, so if it’s warped .009 put .018 shims on either side and you still gonna wanna use a straight edge to make sure it’s straight before starting the straightening process. 👍👍👍👍👍
That was great, that is the only way to be able to turn the camshaft again without jamming. The sealing surface to the engine block is then automatically straight and there is no need for subsequent machining. Can you do this with iron casting too?
Hell yeah! And If a torch scares someone they can prob utilize a sheet of tin foil to help protect the block and think it's only like .00025-.00032 thickness.
Daniel - I have a confession. I was really mean to a 1982 Ford Escort. Had a 2 L engine I think. My now X was driving and the heat gauge went OFF scale. There was no fluid in the block - because That Ford Engine - had a little rubber hose - running UNDER the engine to the water pump. It was made of tin and rubber hosing. A kind gent put water in the engine. It lifted the head oft the block as it made steam. It had water in the sparkplugs when I saw it. I put a head gasket in it and ran the car. It lifted again at 13,000. I pulled it apart again. I polished the head on a piece of plate glass and emery paper. Put it together - drove it another 10,000 and it lifted again. The straight edge showed me that I had a problem with a curved head. I stopped by a local engine machine shop - and asked the guys about just flat planing the head. The guy motioned me to follow. He asked me again if I was sure about what I wanted. He tossed my head on a flat plane and after 3 goes it was flat. I spent the next week with valve - grind compound - opening up the journals so the cam would rotate. I sold the car after that. The guy said it was the most reliable car for him. He put another 150K on it in 7 or more years. I never could trust it after knowing how I had butchered it. Cheers
@@MrDanielSoliz I am humbled. I was a poor kid, trying to do the least expensive repairs. I followed what the old guys advised me to do. Pennies Screamed as they flowed off my fingers. I pinched them all of the way past my hand. I am officially retired as of May - 21.

Hey I thanks for the videos I had a question I welded on an aluminum cylinder head dohc and was wondering if I need to re harden it and can it be done in a garage maybe you can make a video thanks
You most definitely could send it out and have it hardened, I never had and have never had a failure or lost a head gasket. My welds have had tons of boost and heat. So I know it works with out heat treating.
Directing heat only alleviates stress in a specific area but the surface that meets the block still is stressed. Best method is complete bake 4 hours 450-500 F on a true flat surface with corners shimmed 7-10 thou, bolted in center at 25 Ftlb. Also achieving molten state may change alloy structure
We have a BHJ head straighting plate. This is a great alternative to the plate. If it’s a Jag or Ferrari etc. cylinder head we most definitely put it in the oven but as a shop owner, you need to do things to be able to get cylinder heads out on a timely basis. How many cylinder head can you straighten in a day with the oven? We have never damaged a cylinder head. Did crack one,one time.
A quick question . Over heating caused the problem , Some heads are chilled Ali, Thus harder than standard Ali.I have been told that they soften sometimes with a over heat , A/ is this correct ? B / if so how do you know if this is a problem C/ are you completely stuffed at that point . I find your channel and Faye"s good viewing Cheers Richard
yes some heads are chilled heads (I'm thinking VW water cooled head are, That's why I have crack a VW head before). That being said I have had people that know tell me this will never work and if it does it won't last long. I say Google Lethal Weapon. 3 years on welded and repaired heads. thanks for watching.
So the moment of the bend is usually in the center of the head? Could an overheating condition cause distortion in other areas? I ask this because I had a dohc head that was twisted from end to end by .01 or so in a free state. I decked the cylinder, used a metal gasket and the cams freed right up. I don't have your patience which is why I'm no longer a machinist or engine builder lol.
Hi Danny, all the shops near me "dont do straightening, only resurfacing" (sigh). So i have no choice but to try this myself on my freshly decked/overbored block for my new build :'(. The block is cast iron so i dont foresee any issues with me damaging threads there by doing this though i am paranoid haha? I will use all the advice offered in this video and the cylinder head im working with has esentially the same construction with the thin casting points to target. The problem i have is that all ive got is the standard home butane torches will these provide enough heat to give the spot melting rather than taking to long resulting into the heat soaking into surrounding areas, the nozzels are on the wider side 1.5cm so im thinking to even attempt this i would have to try and get a finer nozzel? Alternatively i was thinking i could use my tig welder to just create these little spots as well? Any advice is really appreciated at this point. as always your videos are amazing. Thanks!
A butane will not work, we aren’t really heating the head. We are melting small spots that will hold the head straight. I’ve thought about using a tig and think that would work. Use the tig to melt the aluminum, don’t need to add any aluminum. 👍
Hello from Oamaru Sth island New Zealand. Do you advise to dress head gasket with Hylomar spray on prior to installation?. I'm replacing a gasket on my 2012 Nissan Navara D40 St-X Diesel common rail turbo engine
Just out of interest did you check the face for straightness before you straightened the head and did the face straightness get affected after you straightened the camshaft journals ? Great and informative video !!!
Hey Danny, thanks for an amazing video! I'm about to do this to my F22A6 Honda aluminum head with a 5 to 6 thousandths warp in the middle. Would you advise bolting the head down to the block without shims first then use heat, or is it best to use a small shim on each side, bolt down, heat, let cool, then check? Thank you.
@@MrDanielSoliz ok, thank you. I might bolt it down without shims first, to play it safe and see if it holds, because when its bolted down now everything is nice and straight onto. If it doesn't move enough then I'll place some shims. Thank you so much for the help!
Hola , lo que el dice es cierto , pero solo puede ser efectuado por un experto mecánico , si usted es un wn principiantes , en ni siquiera intenté esto que se ve..... Saludos desde Chile
Nice! Do you think a handheld propane torch would work? I have mine shimmed on the block; I put the camshaft and covers back on. It rotates with minimal friction. But I notice when I slightly tighten the center exhaust bolt the camshaft turns like butter. Glad I ran into this. I thought maybe I was overthinking it.
Not really heating the cylinder head, we are just heating or melting spots in the head that once cooled hold the head flat. It’s all about making sure the cam turns freely. 👍
I also have BHJ straighting plate and oven. If I’m doing a 6cyl Jag I’ll go that way. That being said 90% of the heads I straighten I do this way. Also I’ll never straighten a VW water cooled head with a torch.
I don’t recommend that, and you want to at least lap the valves after straightening it, think about it if the head is bent then the seats are also bent.
so true, I had it in there. just as important if not more. The video was over an hour long. may go back and make a video just on that. Thank you so much!

It’s a straight edge and if your using it to check if the cam bore is straight it wouldn’t do you any good to check it at an angle.

Hey Danny, I'm curious, would a head heat straighten itself if torqued properly?
If not surfaced yes, it will be straight but might not be flat. 👍

Does this technique work on cast iron heads? and if not why?

Sometimes shimming help to get it flat on top and remember your not heating the cylinder head just spots on it.

What are the chances the head can pop back to being warped after using this method?
Once it’s torqued down it will stay straight unless it overheats again.
Can this be done with the valves still in the head?
I don’t recommend that, and you want to at least lap the valves after straightening it, think about it if the head is bent then the seats are also bent.

@@MrDanielSoliz OLÁ. MrSolis. Sugiro que fassa como eu. Pesquise!. Pelo seu texto já devo saber quem és. (Conheci diversos). O tratarei com "luvas de pelica" . Não entrarei em controvérsias. Se conseguires pesquisar "quem sou"
@@MrDanielSoliz 12/02/24 (CONTINUAÇÃO...) Se conseguires aprender na vida profissional a metade que eu aprendi e ensinei com muito esforço "teoria e prática" durante cerca de 60 anos provavelmente chegarás a uma conclusão idêntica à minha, de que " quem com arrogância não quer aprender, é melhor esquecer"
