CAST AND ALUMINUM HEADS
Dedicated cylinder head machining services to support local repair shops, engine specialists and do it yourselfers. Whether you’re sending heads in for diagnostics, repair, or full reconditioning, our machine shop delivers high-quality results with fast turnaround.
PRECISION HEAD AND BLOCK RESURFACING
Our resurfacing process restores proper flatness and finish to all cylinder heads, meeting OE specs and MLS gasket standards.
VALVE REFACING AND GRINDING
From bent or burnt valves to stem and face refinishing, we inspect and repair or replace to restore full function. Refacing the valve face ensures a proper seal against the valve seat. We also butt valves to ensure correct clearance with the lifters and other valve train components.
THREE ANGLE VALVE JOB
The three angles are typically a 45-degree “seat” angle for the primary seal, a 30-degree “top” cut to help airflow into the combustion chamber, and a 60-degree “throat” cut to smooth airflow as it enters the seat area. This method is popular for high-performance engines because it improves flow, especially at low and mid-lift valve positions, resulting in increased power.
VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT AND HONING
Replacing and honing valve guides:
- Restores valve alignment
- Reduces oil consumption and exhaust smoke
- Protects valves and valve seats from premature wear
- Ensures proper heat transfer, preventing burnt and warped valves
