Understanding the work
Valve sealing affects cylinder compression and engine operation. Valve-related machine work concerns the mating areas of the valves and seats. The work appropriate for a particular head depends on its condition and the engine’s requirements, not simply the symptoms reported.
Contact your preferred location to confirm whether it can handle your specific job, what information is needed and where the component should be brought.
When to request an assessment
Compression concerns, suspected valve leakage, visible damage or a cylinder-head repair can justify discussing valve condition. Similar symptoms can have other causes. Share any diagnostic results from your repair shop rather than treating a valve job as a guaranteed cure.
Correct machining starts with matching the work to the component and intended assembly. Clear information helps avoid misunderstandings, unsuitable parts decisions and unnecessary repeat work. Ask what can be established before the component is assessed and what remains uncertain.
What to include in your request
Include your shop name, contact details and preferred Cobra location. If a measurement or part history is unknown, say so. Describe the assessment you need rather than assuming the repair scope.
Identify the head
Provide the engine code, vehicle details and cylinder-head identification where available.
Share the diagnosis
Describe symptoms, why the head was removed and any compression or leak-down results already obtained by your shop.
Explain the repair plan
Mention prior repairs, known damage and any parts you intend to supply. Confirm the scope, what to bring and the appropriate drop-off location before making the trip.

Questions before you contact Cobra
Will a valve job resolve every compression problem?
No. Compression loss can have more than one cause. Share the repair shop’s diagnostic findings so the discussion addresses the underlying concern.
Can the scope be decided from a photograph?
Photos can help explain what you are seeing, but they do not establish sealing condition or repairability. Ask Cobra what information and assessment are needed.
