well the head i have on my car currently was taken
off an re-aligned. underneath a couple of the cam towers is little plastic
shims, obviously to raise that particular tower up. the dowels only align it
left/right, not up/down

na bugger that, im not putting it back
together, when i get the head reco'd they will align it all 100% for me.
stuff like that is best left to pro's with the right gear. i just know if
there are people who can align them (i ended up ringing my girlfriends dad
who is a specialist engine builder before going ahaed :)

Ben,
The cam towers are inline bored so if you disturb them you run the
risk of stuffing up the alignment. Now some of us adventurous types have
removed the towers in the past, usually to fit saver shims, mark the
towers to identify where to return them, I also mark the bolts (like head
bolts) and return them to their original holes too. The method of
re-fitting them i've found works is to do the tower bolts up just
tight i.e. zero torque and then oil the bearings and carefully fit
the cam in. Make sure it turns by hand, tighten all of the tower bolts
(there's no torque spec) so use the centre range for whatever number is
stamped on them, 15lbs rings a bell but check to be sure. Then re-check
the cam turns freely and you should be OK.
regards
Terry
if i take the cam towers off, will a head
machining shop be able to re-align when i get it planed
etc??
