Cylinder Head Repair

Is your cylinder head in need of service? We can provide you with cylinder head services that use the latest state of the art digital CNC machining processes to modify, maintain, and save your cylinder head. You should be periodically checking your valve clearance and adjusting them accordingly, although, in most cases this is routine maintenance that gets overlooked. When the valves no longer get a good seal you will often run into issues with it starting.

We have competitive prices to keep your project on budget. In most cases it's cheaper to recondition your cylinder head but if for some reason it's not, will let you know too. We are here to help you, not just sell you a service. Our staff is always willing to offer professional advice and make sure your doing what's best for your power sports vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What do I do when there are no shim sizes available for my valve adjustment?

A. This is caused by excessive valve stretch, valve face cupping, and/or seat recession.

Q. Are titanium or stainless steel valves better?

A. Titanium valves are lighter, performance valves. Stainless Steel valves are more durable, and on average require less valve adjustments.

Q. Can you port my cylinder head, too?

A. Yes, we can. We offer basic hand porting and CNC porting.

Q. What cylinder heads do you repair and/or recondition?

A. We specialize in 2000 and newer dirt bike and ATV 4-stroke cylinder heads. Please call for any other models.
