Cylinder Head Reconditioning

Winona Van Norman Newsletter: Cylinder Head Reconditioning – Enhance Your Engine’s Performance

At Winona Van Norman, we’re dedicated to providing solutions that boost the efficiency and longevity of your engine components. This month, we’re spotlighting Cylinder Head Reconditioning—a vital process that can dramatically improve an engine’s performance and extend its lifespan.

Why Recondition Your Cylinder Head?

Over time, cylinder heads can warp, accumulate carbon deposits, and experience wear that affects their shape and smoothness. Reconditioning addresses these issues by resurfacing the head, ensuring better sealing of the combustion chamber, and improving compression ratios. The result? More efficient combustion and a more powerful engine.

Key Steps in Cylinder Head Reconditioning:

  1. Resurfacing:
    The cylinder head’s mating surface is precisely machined to restore its flatness and smoothness. This step is crucial for ensuring a proper seal with the engine block, preventing leaks, and optimizing engine performance.
  2. Machining Valve Seats:
    Worn or damaged valve seats are machined to an exact angle and depth, which improves the sealing capability of the valves. This enhances combustion efficiency and reduces the risk of leakage, keeping your engine running smoothly.
  3. Removing Deposits:
    During reconditioning, we remove any carbon deposits that may have accumulated on the cylinder head. This step is essential for maintaining the integrity of the cylinder head and ensuring optimal engine performance.
  4. Pressure Testing:
    Our range of Winona Van Norman Pressure Testers makes it easy to find those fine-line cracks that can’t be seen with the naked eye. Ensuring the structural integrity of your cylinder head is critical for preventing future issues.
