Cylinder Head Resurfacing

CALL US : 704-486-1717
Cylinder head resurfacing is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to treat a number of issues associated with cylinder heads. Several common reasons to resurface cylinder heads include the following:

  • Resurfacing the cylinder head may be essential if the head gasket fails completely.
  • Cylinder heads may require resurfacing in order to restore flatness or improve the polish on the existing surface.
  • A cylinder head may require resurfacing following repairs or welds, or milling to improve the compression ratio.
  • The angle was significantly altered to accommodate an aftermarket intake manifold.
  • Corrosion, pitting, scratching, or out of flat deck surfaces are frequently found on high mileage heads. This is more likely to occur if the engine has blown a head gasket or has overheated.
 
No matter what the cause, head resurfacing should be done appropriately. This is because once the metal has been extracted, it cannot be recovered without paying additional costs. When you need cylinder head resurfacing done right, our team is here to help.

We can help with emergency repairs and make sure your equipment is up and running as soon as possible, even in the direst of circumstances.

Why is Cylinder Head Resurfacing Required?

Head gaskets have seals that must have a specific finish to seal properly. In order to have a proper seal, a head gasket must have a surface finish that falls within a specific range.

The parameters differ based on the type of head gasket used. The surface of the valve is very important in preventing leaks from occurring.

How to Achieve the Ultimate Cylinder Head Finish

There are a lot of variables to consider to get cylinder heads resurfaced the right way including:
  • Table feed and rpm must be combined perfectly.​
  • Proper equipment, such as a multi speed milling head, is required.
  • Understanding of appropriate rpm for a smooth finish.
  • Understanding of the proper feed rate.
 
Proper control of the table and rotary speed is essential when milling the cylinder head to get the smoother finish that today's aluminum heads require.
​
To ensure cylinder heads are resurfaced the right way, you must work with a repair service shop that has the necessary equipment and experience.  This is where Heavy Equipment Repair Services can help.​

Is It Possible For The Finish To Be Too Smooth?

Picture
The smoothness of the surface of the head gasket determines how well it will seal against the threads of the cylinder walls. Cold sealing and prevention of most leaks is due to the smooth finishing of the heads. However, there is such a thing as being too smooth. Because of the support from the head and block, many manufacturers recommend that the surface of most graphite head gaskets should not be smoother than 30 RA.
