The Fine Print
How long will it take? When can you do it? What are the risks?
Turnaround times:
Typical turnaround times for car cylinder heads are one to two days depending on when the heads arrive at our facility. Larger heads or specialty projects may take longer. Please call or email for a time estimate.
Same day, after hour, emergency while-you-wait or weekend resurfacing is usually available and is subject to an additional fee and prior arrangements.
Drop off hours:
8AM - 4:30PM Monday - Friday (excluding major holidays)
Arrangements can be made for weekend and before or after-hours drop off or pickup at our facility.
To better serve you, please call or email before dropping off any work.
Disclaimer:
Not every cylinder head is created, or damaged, equally. Some cylinder heads are so badly warped or damaged that they are impossible to be resurfaced, others simply do not have enough material left to be fully resurfaced. We make every effort to completely resurface or "clean out" the sealing surface, but in order to maintain minimum stock removal, there may be spots in non-critical areas such as the far edges or in between passageways that may remain lower than the rest of the head. The cylinder head gasket, however, may be able to close these gaps. In our experience, even partially resurfaced cylinder heads can be successfully installed depending on the depth and location of the remaining defects. If we believe we are getting too close to the cutting limit (especially to the valve seats), we will stop and ask you how to proceed. We hold no liability for cracked, damaged, heavily warped cylinder heads, or customer requests for work to continue below what we believe to be the resurfacing limit. No warranty or guarantee is expressed or implied. All work is performed on a best-effort basis.
