Process
|
Heads are degreased and disassembled. | |
|
The heads are media blasted. | |
|
All critical dimensions and components are inspected. | |
|
Valves are ground on a Kwik-Way valve grinder which has a spindle chuck TIR at .0005" (.013mm) or less. | |
|
Valve bores (ID & OD) are machined using a precision Sunnen honing machine and tooling. | |
|
Seats features (both OD and valve interface angles) are processed with all carbide tooling. |
