S13 sr20det lifter bore scratched

[mechanicalmoron]

How many heads DON'T have a scratched lifter bore? How new is your head?

Try to polish evenly and flatly, don't make waves or let it go off-round.

Since it looks like they did half the damage, did they offer to pay for half the head?

Nah, they told me I didn't owe them anything and told me I could find a sr20 head at any junk yard lol not sure if I could use a Sentra sr20 head but I don't even wanna do all of that.

If you have a spare lifter, you could use that to lap it. If you have the stuck one, you could cut off any area that may be deformed, and put a little handle on it. There's also tiny hones. Either way, run it like a hone.

Check it's size, if you're lucky it's a tight one and you can match (or stay under) the loosest.

I don'y have a spare lifter and that sounds too complicated for me. I'll run this head after I buff it and run it and hope that it'll be okay. If not.. then I guess I'm gonna have to do it all over again with a new head.. lol..

That was pretty simple. If it hurts you too badly to spend several seconds thinking with moderate intensity in order to get a good result, cars may be the wrong hobby for you.
