When do you have to use a oversize headgasket?
After the cylinder head or block have been skimmed. For example. An engine has overheated and the cylinder head has been warped. The head is removed and milled so that the mating surface is flat again. The thickness of the oversized gasket will depend on the amount of material removed. If a thicker gasket wasn't used, the compression ratio may be raised or the pistons may come into contact with the valves
What needs to be done before the valves are removed from the cylinder head?
Valve keepers
What is cylinder head skimming?
Skimming is another term for plaining or machining. The head is placed in a milling machine that cuts a slight amount off the part of the head that makes contact with the engine block. This will increase the compression ratio of the engine and may require that you start using premium high octane fuel. This will increase the horsepower of the engine slightly. This process if sometimes used to straighten a head that has been warped due to overheating.
What is skeem?
It's skimming - basically if a cylinder head warps due to heat/pressure it's usually a last-ditch attempt to try to revive an engine with a blown head gasket by skimming a few microns off and hoping that by doing that the new exposed metal doesn't have the imperfection. It takes some very special machinery to do it though as we are talking thousandths of an inch.
