OK over time I've acquired some spare heads for my '98 LR Freelander which has the K series 1.8 mph engine. Yes they are all K series heads and are complete. One is a VVC head. The engine it was on had been overheated. I stripped it except for the valve seats. There are fire ring indentation marks on the exhaust side of the head.
My question is can aluminium heads be rehardened? Just what is the process?
I could carefully peen around the fire ring area of each cylinder and have the head skimmed. Would that do it?
