Cylinder head reconditioning is essential for maintaining efficient airflow and ensuring your engine operates at optimal output. Our cylinder head reconditioning process involves several crucial steps to restore performance and reliability:
- Disassembly and Cleaning:
The cylinder head is carefully disassembled, and all components are thoroughly cleaned to remove debris, carbon deposits, and oil residues. - Dye Penetration Test for Cracks:
We conduct a dye penetration test to check for cracks and structural weaknesses that may not be visible to the naked eye, ensuring the integrity of the cylinder head. - Surfacing:
The cylinder head surface is machined to restore its flatness and ensure a proper seal between the head and the engine block, preventing gasket failures. - Regrinding Valve Angles and Seats:
The valve angles and seats are re-ground to restore proper sealing and airflow, optimizing engine efficiency and performance. - Knurling or Replacing Guides:
If necessary, the valve guides are either knurled to improve oil retention or completely replaced to ensure smooth valve movement and reduce wear. - Installing New Valve Seats:
New valve seats are installed to ensure a precise fit and a tight seal, preventing compression loss and ensuring optimal engine performance. - Checking the Springs:
Valve springs are inspected for proper tension and wear, as weakened springs can negatively affect valve timing and performance. - Pressure Testing for Seal Leaks:
Finally, a pressure test is conducted to check for any seal leaks, ensuring that the cylinder head is fully restored and ready for operation.
This comprehensive reconditioning process ensures your cylinder head is restored to peak condition, improving engine performance, fuel efficiency, and longevity.
