What happens here
Cylinder heads undergo a series of precision operations. Guide honing is performed to ensure valve guides are correctly sized and aligned. A valve job is then cut using specialized machines (e.g., Serdi 60), which precisely machines the valve seats and angles. Finally, the valve jobs and ports are hand blended, a meticulous process that smooths transitions and optimizes airflow for maximum performance. This is done to achieve specific angles (sharp for intake, radius for exhaust) to prevent reversion and enhance flow characteristics. The entire process is designed based on flow bench testing.
Goal: Optimize cylinder head airflow and valve seating
