Abstract
Apparatus and method for resurfacing the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine as by grinding a minimal amount of material from the cylinder head along a joining surface of the cylinder head in a grinding machine including a grinding wheel which traverses a grinding plane. The cylinder head is attached to a locator assembly having locator surfaces for coacting with the joining surface of the cylinder head and with support surfaces for supporting the locator assembly and the attached cylinder head in a grinding position relative to the grinding plane, and the cylinder head is secured in place in the grinding position for subsequent detachment and removal of the locator assembly to expose the joining surface of the cylinder head to the grinding wheel of the grinding machine for completing the resurfacing operation.
