How do I know if my cylinder head is faulty?

Common signs: white smoke from the exhaust, coolant dropping with no visible leak, emulsified oil (a milky look), repeated engine overheating, loss of power. If in doubt, come in for a diagnosis.

Can a cylinder head be repaired or does it need replacing?

In most cases, the cylinder head can be reconditioned and reused if it isn’t cracked. We always assess whether a repair is possible before recommending a replacement.

How long does cylinder head machining take?

Allow 2 to 4 days depending on the engine type and how much work is needed. We’ll give you a precise timeframe after the diagnosis.

Is cylinder head work expensive?

It depends on the vehicle and how much work is involved. Simply replacing a head gasket costs less than a cracked cylinder head that needs full replacement. We’ll give you a detailed quote.
