How Can Cylinder Heads Be Damaged?

Head skimming is only required when your cylinder head in your engine is no longer functioning to its most efficient standards. Over time, as well as through overheating, cylinder heads can become twisted, warped, dished or damaged by corrosion. When this happens, it can be time for head skimming.

Additionally, some heads can be damaged by the cylinder lines moving slightly into the cylinder block within the engine. When this happens you need fast repairs solutions from our team who specialise in the area of head skimming, so we can always provide a quality service including the repair of badly corroded head which may need to be welded before being skimmed.
