you can't learn if you don't ask questions

Yes! I indexed them with an 8mm drillbit,then set the angle and switched to a bigger one;) really simple!

today i picked up my heads that my friend has done some welding on

the headgasket always broke at the top but now it should be strong enought! by the way im going without gasket now...

Will this affect the cooling too mutch...hmmm

Hi Jonas N
What's the relation between the "broken gasket" and this "welding" ? Did the gasket brake because the head was not strong enough on top ?
Regards
Joris

the gasket always broke on the spot right in the middle of the headbolts,the head is too weak at this point and looses compression at high boost! but not anymore

You can always go back to your welder and try this:

That's how Klaus, http://www.klaus-kaefertuning.de/ does it to make it stronger. That should help with cooling and serve its purpose

Is the goal of the welding to "extend" the fin in this area and that is what makes the head stronger in this spot ? Or is it something else ?

Thanks

The thing is just to fill up with weld between the coolingfins to make this part stronger

And the reason you want to make it stronger in that area is because all type 4 heads that leaked that I have seen, had warped (sp?) in that plane.
Reason as I see it is that the head stud pattern of the type 4 is too big in the 'horizontal' plane versus the vertical plane.
Vertical distance of head studs is appr. 78mm (top of my head) and the horizontal distance is 94 (or there abouts), where the outer lower head studs are even further apart by 6 more mm!!

Thats why they start to leak first at the bottom (also because of more heat there, because of less cooling) and then at the top.
Tightening the heads too much will speed up the process of 'curving' the head over the cylinder. The head warps over the cylinder in the horizontal plane...

I hope I have described it in a way that it is understandable (?)

My Power Tuning Parts 6 stud heads are welded there too.
