    Valve Refacing
    We use a Sunnen SGM-1500 machine (see below)
  • All guides are checked using Sunnen Dial P310 Valve Guide Gauge Set for taper and trueness
  • All guides are replaced using the .030 bronze Guide Liner, then honed to size.
  • Valve seats are replaced with hardened inserts
  • Valve seats are cut using multi-angle cutter in the Sunnen SGM-1500 giving the valve-to-seat concentricity to industry standard or lower (industry standard is .001 per valve head size; 2.00 valve head should be no more than .002 concentricity)
  • All valve seats are cut exactly the same and also maintain the same height in the chamber
  • All valve seat pockets are cut to the same depth to maintain spring squareness and installed heights (out of square spring pockets cause abnormal valve guide wear)
  • Valves seal bosses are lowered for added lift and re-cut for positive seals
  • Installation of screw-in studs
  • Installation of .500 guides, bronze or cast
  • Installation of beryllium copper seat inserts for titanium valves
  • Pinning or welding for cracked heads (aluminum cast)
  • Installation of push rod sleeves
  • Match cc of all combustion chambers
  • Porting and polishing
  • Checking RMS for proper surface finish
  • Resurfaing heads
  • O-Ringing heads
  • Correcting intake angles
  • Angle milling
  • All valves are re-ground to correct angles and lapped to seats using a power lapping tool
  • All springs are installed to correct spring heights
