Part of the process of rebuilding a head is to make sure that the valve seat is at the proper angle to seal with the valve. David our Master Machinist here cutting in new seat faces.

Why Does my Check Engine Light Flash? There is a lot of reasons for this from spark plugs, Ignition components like coils or spark plug wires. This However was a Chrysler 3.6 and had a failing roller in two of the rocker arms which did not allow the Valves in the Cylinder head to open completely which decreased the flow of air into one of the cylinders this in turn cause one cylinder not to have as much contribution and cause a miss. After removing the heads and inspecting the valves there was some severe pitting in the valve faces and valve seats. We cleaned and checked the Cylinder Heads for cracks and resurface all the valve faces and all the valve seats as well as resurfaced the matting surface where the heads are attached to the Cylinder Block which is very critical the maintain the combustion of the air fuel mixture that makes the Vehicle Move.

Why does my Head Gasket keeps blowing? Head Gaskets are put under enormous stress during Engine operation, and failure may be caused by any of the following factors:
Mechanical Forces. The nature of the detonations in an engine creates huge amounts of energy, or Pressure, every time the Cylinders fire. Over time, these forces stress Head Gaskets and can eventually lead to Cracks in the Heads and or Blocks and Cause Leaks.
HEAT. An Engine creates large amounts of heat under operation. A difference in thermal expansion rates between the engine block and head mean the head gasket in between is subjected to high thermal and mechanical stresses that slowly wear the gasket down.
VIBRATION. Natural vibrations from the Engine and those created as the Vehicle is driven down the road also fatigue the head gasket over time. Head bolts, which keep the Head Gasket sandwiched between the Block and Head, can start to weaken, break or stretch (and possibly warp) to allow increased friction and vibration wear. A poor design that lacks sufficient clamping force from the head bolts can also cause failure.
Overheating. Allowing the Coolant level to run low can cause damage to a head gasket. When Coolant isn’t available to pull Engine Heat from the Block and Heads, the extra heat can cause expansion on the head gasket, which often results in a Blown Head Gasket and or Damage to the Heads or the Engine Block.
Here is an Example of some LS heads that our Master Machinist has improved the flow of these stock head exponential. Just another Job well Done.
When should you Rebore a Cylinder?
Reboring is required when the Piston, Piston Rings and Cylinder are damaged, either after wear or tear or excessive usage (continuous high speed use, or usage without proper Lubrication) or from Water of Coolant Contamination. When the Cylinder Wall is Damaged, it can be Rebored to a Larger size and larger Size Pistons are used.

Why do my valves tick?
The most common cause of Engine Ticking is a noisy Valve Train. Your Valves have to open and close once for every 2 times your Engine spins around. In an overhead Cam Engine, the Camshaft Lobes themselves Depresses the Valve while in single Cam Engines, the Cam actuates Push Rods that open the Valves by moving a lever called the Rocker Arm. Since your Valves move very quickly and only move a short distance, the distance from the Cam or Pushrod to the Valve needs to be very precise. These distances are controlled using Shims or other adjustments and as normal wear occurs those distances can move out of tolerance. If there is excessive play in these components you can usually hear them “Tick” as they shift around while your Engine is running. This clearance can sometimes be removed by adjusting the Rocker Arms and sometimes requires installing new Shims.

Piston Rings maintain Gas Compression between the Piston and the Cylinder Wall. Piston Rings Seal the Cylinder. This allows the Combustion Gas generated at the time of ignition to hold Pressure. If combustion gas leaks past the Rings the Performance of the Engine is less. This also increases fuel consumption. Not good for the economy or the environment.
Piston Rings adjust the amount of Oil in the Cylinder. Piston Rings make the necessary amount of Oil film for preventing Scuffing.
Piston Rings also transfer heat from the piston crown to the cylinder Wall. When Gas Ignition takes place. The temperature inside the Cylinder can reach 300 C. If heat accumulates inside the piston, the engine may get damaged. For that reason, it is necessary to release the heat build-up.
Piston rings prevent the piston from knocking on the cylinder wall. If the piston inclines inside the cylinder, it may touch inside parts and cause engine failure as well. Piston rings support pistons to allow for smooth up and down motion.
