( I only used 350/450/700/1000 grit on my valves , if they fail the pressure test I will disassemble them & continue with the 1500/2000/3000/4000 grit . Let’s hope I don’t have to do that ….. grit sizes starting from left to right 60,000 30,000 15,000 12,000 10,000 6,000 4,000 3,000 2,000 1,500 1000 700 450 350

After resurfacing ( 0.33mm was removed or 13 thousandths, according to Mercedes only a maximum of 0.3mm or 11.811 thousandths can be removed from the block & Cylinder heads combined . So technically I’m 1.189 thousandths over spec & I only resurfaced the cylinder heads . So there is no chance at trying to resurface my block either if I wanted to , the machine shop said they had to remove that much to get it flat & told me to use a thicker head gasket ?! .

Noticed this AFTER first pass with 350 grit , it later went away with 450/700 & I finished with 1000 grit , I did the same process for all the other valves by hand no drill . Hit them all with 350/450/700/1000 grit diamond lapping paste . This was the only valve seat that had this problem

I’m just messing around here getting a feel for the kit / when the Time-Sert is actually installed the head bolt can fully thread through it . ( not pictured)

Here is one installed , don’t mind the reflection it’s center . All said & done I was able to get the top of all 20 Time-Serts in The exact location as the original threads , that’s exactly 47mm deep . regardless the Time-Serts are only 30mm long so the bottom of the cylinder head bolt holes , more specifically the last 8mm of the hole or 6 threads on the bolt aren’t threaded.

When the insert is installed in the block the head bolt can thread all the way through the end if necessary . I can’t show that because the insert tool opens up the end of the insert during installation & that’s what locks the insert in the work piece permanently.

All 20 Time-Serts threads begin exactly where old threads began at 47mm deep . Altogether the hole is 85mm deep & originally had 38mm of thread starting 47mm from top of the block , so basically the last 8mm of the hole & 6 threads of the bolt have no threaded section.
