00:00 | - If you're planning to do any work on a cylinder head, then I'd strongly recommend that you invest in a head stand fixture. |
00:07 | These fixtures locate the cylinder head and make it easy to position a head on a workbench while still being able to access both sides of the head. |
00:15 | This makes stripping, cleaning and reassembling the cylinder head incredibly easy and also it helps prevent the possibility of damage to the deck surface of the head that can occur if you're resting the head on a workbench. |
