Here's some before & after pics of an aluminum inline six cylinder BMW cylinder head. It came in for a rebuild so we completely disassembled the head so we could hot tank & blast it to get it super clean inside & out. We then first performed a pressure test to make sure [...]

Here's a 24 valve 5.9 liter Cummins diesel cylinder head out of a Dodge truck. The 1st pic is after a couple passes in our surfacer (milling machine). You can see the surface of the cylinder head is shiny on the ends so you can see how badly warped it was. The 2nd [...]
