A friend works on Subaru cars, Subaru only. Her bread and butter is cylinder head jobs, she tries to keep rebuilt heads on the shelf ready to go, but the good rebuild shop has a 2 month lead time, and they are banging her for $350 a set. She tried another shop recently but whatever machine they are using cannot cut a smooth enough surface and they leak with a basic pressure test after installation. The gasket manufacturer is telling her the surface finish needs to be 50Ra or better.
She would like to start rebuilding the heads herself, so the question is can a 50Ra surface be achieved on a Bridgeport style mill? Heads are 10" long x 8" wide, so I don't think table rocking would be an issue.
