There isnt much info about this on the net...

Any tricks to remove a precup without destroying it?!

I'm thinking if I can remove the thing, then thats half the battle and the engineering shop can simply freeze it, warm the head and press it in!

Then skim away!

(also everything I do read, it all says a IDI head should never be skimmed with the precups in place )

Ohhh I skimmed my last head with precups in place. :o you learn something new everyday

Ive skimmed xud heads with cups in place...

Not sure if its just scare mongery...be curious to know what the derv gods say

why not phone an engineering shop and ask?

The tool can "skip" over the precups ans you end up with a wavey head.. Had it happen to me once lol

Or destroy the machine it seems going by a few storys in USA!!

Can you suggest one to ring?! I literally have no connections to that sort of thing anymore.


The only common thing it seems is a rod of brass through the injector hole and smack it out!!

I tried to remove one once, wouldn't budge used a bigger hammer still didn't move, got angle grinder on it still didn't move gave up.

Take it to a propa place let them sort it
