Overheating can cause head warping. On YouTube, I found an ingenious way to resurface a head w/o paying a machine shop their exorbitant fee for resurfacing. Best of all, you can do it in your own driveway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRp0UfaYNlM

And if you follow this method, there's no need to pay for a new head gasket.

Did you really do a screen recording of a youtube video, and post it as a video? That's almost almost as bad as using the driveway for resurfacing.

What is your point? Just out of curiosity, to what office have you appointed yourself?

I wonder the source of your conviction that every post on the internet is tendered mostly for your edification. I also wonder how you came to seize your delusions of grandeur so firmly. I think the answer to both questions has something to do with your living with your mom a bit too long.

WTF???

If you can't take a little ribbing, perhaps you should take your questions to a different forum? Or perhaps grow up a little?

Sorry, sport: your lack of importance to me warrants no further exchange with you.

Yeah Lawson. WTF?
I think you should refrain from posting in this thread.
You're clogging it all up for the droves of members who are glued to their screens awaiting more info.

The internet is full of people sniping at others thinking they elevate their status.

Maybe tie the head to the trailer hitch with some baling twine. 8 foot long.
Leave your driveway pulling it behind you a 10 to 15 MPH. Make sure you make an even amount of right and left turns to insure the best surface outcome.
Head home after 10 minutes and you're all done.

LOL I have done some funky stuff trying to get a head true, but nothing like that. I still have a set of head files from the fifties.
