Hi there , greetings from Croatia !
Pretty please , need some specs for machining the head and bock surfaces .
Working on my mates 2005 1.0l Matiz , which blew head gasket on the 1-st cylinder , upon closer inspection the problem which made the gasket blew is "dished"/"eroded" block mating surface between one coolant jacket and cylinder 1 gasket fire ring .
Thus , i need to pull the engine out and send the block and the head to the machinist .
How much can be safely removed/machined off from the block and head before piston/valve contact on these engines ?
Thanks in advance !
Kind regards
