CYLINDER OVERHAUL SERVICES Cylinder Overhaul

Detailed Description

Time to get your aircraft cylinder overhauled? You've come to the right place. For over 30 years, our specialty has been performing cylinder overhauls for a variety of high performance aircraft and stock overhauls as well.

Buying new cylinders?

Consider our services to get the best performance and longevity out of your investment. About half of the work we do is new cylinder performance enhancements for engine shops and aircraft owners worldwide. Our customers have come to realize that it is risky installing a new cylinder that hasn't been checked out. Improper valve job geometry, loose or too tight tolerances, and mass produced new cylinders can cause an enormous amount of problems that need to be addressed prior to installation.

Looking into getting an aircraft cylinder overhaul?  

All cylinders are not created equal! Our years of experience and innovative machining techniques have elevated our shop to one of the top aircraft cylinder overhaul companies in the country. Before you buy a new cylinder for your aircraft, consider getting yours overhauled. With proper maintenance, inspection, machining, and the replacement of necessary parts, the service life of your aircraft cylinder can be vastly extended, and our value-added options can make your overhauled cylinders even better than new stock cylinders.

Custom Capabilities -

Our custom cylinder work capabilities include precision head work, balanced and blueprinted NASCAR type valve jobs as well as porting and polishing. 

We also offer custom paint jobs for extra cooling and Cryogenic Processing for enhanced durability in an effort to make our cylinders bulletproof. 

Additionally, we have high compression pistons available for most engine models up to 12:1 for air racing engines. Custom pistons coated with ceramic tops and moly skirts are in stock. We also commonly use port, combustion chamber, and external coatings for extreme applications. 

DLC coating, REM Isotropic finishing, and other major improvements have been tested and recommended on some parts used in demanding applications.

All of our stock compression cylinder jobs come with our industry-leading high-performance valve job. These valve jobs are guaranteed until TBO. Our overhauled cylinders also carry an impressive 2-year parts and labor guarantee, and in some cases, longer. For example, nickel barrels are guaranteed against premature wear or corrosion for 5 years.
