Planning

Flattening the cylinder head is an essential step in cylinder head machining and is crucial for efficient and reliable engine function. The surface of the cylinder head is precisely milled to make it flat and smooth. This ensures an optimum seal between the cylinder head and engine block, prevents leaks and compression losses and is essential for engine performance and efficiency. Flatting also repairs damage such as warping or cracks caused by overheating or mechanical wear and restores the integrity of the cylinder head. It prepares the cylinder head for further machining steps such as valve seat machining and contributes to more efficient heat transfer. Overall, it is a critical process for the performance and longevity of the engine and is indispensable in engine reconditioning.
