I removed the cylinder heads today and found some metal damage in the #1 combustion chamber.
Can this head be repaired? There is a machine shop near me that does cylinder head repairs, but I'm not sure if they have experience repairing these Type 4 heads. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good machine shop in the Los Angeles area?  I also found heavy scoring in the #4 cylinder. The cylinder wall is very rough.  I think I'll need a new piston and cylinder set. I measured the piston at 93.3 mm, which I believe is the stock size for a 2.0L engine. I'm looking at this kit. Is this the correct one for a stock 2.0L? https://www.autohausaz.com/pn/12512365-AA-1...uxoC63oQAvD_BwE |

You could take those cylinders and have them bored to 96mm and buy some Keith Black pistons. Make it a 2056 and get a bit more power safely. Those heads can be saved by a cylinder head shop, they don’t look too bad. Looks like they could be fly cut and clean them up. It will make your compression go up higher, but you can offset that with your deck height.
