COMPREHENSIVE ENGINE REPAIR IN MY SHOP
INJECTOR PUMP SERVICE
AND RECONDITIONING CYLINDER HEADS, NOW FOR ALMOST 14 YEARS!
The finished product:
And what it looked like when I started:
Now, here is the same head that is welded up, ready to have the face cut, valve seats cut and the hard-face valve seats installed. Warp was minimal, with a deflection of less than .002" still, the cam will be line bored.
Pit check... first milling
Cutting the seats. The center one is done. Right is not touched yet.
All seats are cut... and only one more step...lap the valves in.
Please understand the reason we performed this service. We were told,"..You can't fix this one...". We only repaired this head to prove a point. We not only fixed it, but that head is still running on an engine block to this day.
The actual cost of the labor would make this type of repair unfeasible, as the cost of a replacement head is less than the cost of the repairs. This cylinder head work was an answer to a dare.
I have a stock and supply of OEM reconditioned cylinder heads for sale I currently have 1Z (AHU) and ALH cylinder heads on hand. Outright purchase is $795, which includes new lifters and camshaft. Average exchange price considering your core is $600-$650
I also have available for those who want to 'shop it all, one stop', I can supply all the replacement parts and pieces to reassemble you cylinder head back onto your engine and I do it at very competitive prices. This includes parts that can break or end up missing down to nuts bolts and screws, etc. Not sure what you need? Ask...
The parts that you will need to reassemble you cylinder head:
1. Head Gasket (designate 1,2 of 3 hole gasket)
2. Head Gasket Kit (intake, exhaust, injector seals, down pipe gasket, manifold nuts)
3. New Head bolts.
4. Timing belt kit
5. Power steering and G-12 antifreeze
6. Vacuum pump seal
7. Turbo line crush washers
8. Lots of free advice and help
For those who have had broken valves, and damage was isolated to the piston and head, I can offer new or reused replacement pistons, rods, wrist pins and individual ring sets or complete sets of pistons/rings.
All cylinder heads are inspected, cleaned and repaired. All are complete with the following:
1.new INA hydraulic lifters.
2.new FEB/Bilstein scintered bronze valve guides and Viton seals,
3.three-face cut valve seats and lap finished,
3.OEM valves,
4.keepers, valve spring seats and springs
5.Camshaft and camshaft caps. Caps are line bored when necessary.
6.Resurfacing of the head gasket mating surface to a 6 RA finish. (Roughness average... glass is 4 RA)
Head comes plastic wrapped for protection. All rebuilt heads carry a one-year, unlimited miles warranty for parts and workmanship.
If you have particular needs, I build to your specs and requirements. I will also rebuild your cylinder head to your specs.
I buy core cylinder heads in any condition and for any TDI, TD or NA style diesel head, exchange or without exchange. Value is according to amount of damage and repairability. I pay for the cost of return shipping charges.
To receive estimate of core value, send a description of the following:
1. any damage to the hydraulic lifters.
2. camshaft,
3. damaged lifter bores
4. camshaft journal cap damage.
5. damaged valves, if known,
6. mating surface damage and
7. valve seat damage.
