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

with it so it's all about consistency from block one to 100 and beyond so that's that so once we've uh once we've now we've line honed it we've decked it board it we've honed it the next process in the engine block is going to be the cleaning of the block so we'll do all of our finished deburr work deburring the top of the cylinders the bottom of the cylinder
