Not being able to see the pics, I don't see why you couldn't.

Take a small file and smooth off the edges of the burrs, it'll be fine. Even some fine grit sandpaper...

do I need to resurface the cylinder head? the engine only has 2350 miles is a remanufactured engine

mattdel

Shouldn't have to, no. Clean up the gasket mating surfaces with a non abrasive material and that should be all you need.

thank you very much appreciate your help

this engine damage should be cover by warranty ? I call the shop where I got the engine from and they say as I install the engine and Im not a certified technician that voids the warranty and I never got any warranty papers what should I do?

mattdel

They are correct. Any warranty claims must be filed by a licensed shop, and the shop has to be the one to install it originally. You're pretty much screwed there, unless you have a buddy who owns a shop.

bump !! I dont I guess my only hope is that this thing keeps compression otherwise I may have to junk it along with the car... thanks for the info
