Precision Work for the Right Application
Cylinder heads must seal correctly, maintain proper valve geometry and provide the surface finish required for the head gasket being used. Car City provides inspection and machining services to help restore cylinder heads for reliable engine assembly.
Because engine families, dimensions and service limits vary, call the shop with your engine information before bringing components in. Pricing varies by make, model and the work required.
