Total Flow Products is unique in offering this free* cylinder head and intake manifold inspection service. Whatever the brand, whether used or new, aluminum or cast iron, for restoration, street performance, occasional racing or racing only, the cost is the same – free*.
Why have your cylinder heads and intake manifold inspected? You may want to know if the used heads you just purchased are good enough for continued use, suitable for modifying or have all the features advertised. You might want to know if your new “race ready” heads are actually “ready to race” and will work suitably with the rest of your engine combination. Or, you may suspect a problem, but haven’t been able to diagnose it on the engine. Our free* inspection service is perfect for these purposes. We will inspect the heads and manifold and call you with a straight-forward evaluation of their condition and our recommendation of the service they need. Our inspection process: - Visually inspect the head and components for obvious and hidden problems.
- Remove one intake and one exhaust valve, visually check the valve job and blend.
- Check the fit of the valve spring, cup, retainers and locks and their relationship to the valve. Poor matching of these parts is the main problem with assembled heads.
- Check both valve guides for clearance, dimensions and straightness.
- Lightly lap both valve seats to determine their relationships to the valves.
- Measure both ports to determine if key shapes and sizes are correct size for your application and use.
- Call and report our findings and recommendations.
*NOTE: The Total Flow Products inspection and evaluation process is free. You are responsible for all shipping charges to and from Total Flow Products. Heads and manifold may be hand delivered, by appointment only, and the inspection can be done while you wait. There is never an obligation to have Total Flow Products perform any work we recommend. You may take the heads to a shop of your choice. Total Flow Products will begin work only at your explicit direction. Please DO NOT send questions about this offer via U.S. Mail or e-mail. Instead, call Steve Sanchez direct, at 248-588-4490. For more information, see Cylinder Head Inspection in our Tech Articles section. |
