Cylinder Head Upgrades
Performance Upgrades — Cheyenne, WY
The cylinder head decides how well an engine breathes, and on a built diesel it's also the component clamping combustion pressures the factory never planned for. Head work spans both jobs: ported and upgraded heads with better flow for power builds, and head studs plus quality machine work so the head stays sealed under boost.
TDC handles head upgrades as part of a coherent build — matched to the cam, turbo, and fueling — and as the smart move during a head gasket job on a tuned truck: if the head's already off, that's the cheapest studs and machine work will ever be.
What's Included
- Ported and upgraded head options
- Head stud upgrades for boosted and tuned engines
- Machine work: surfacing, valve work, pressure testing
- Matched to cam, turbo and fueling
- Smart add-on during head gasket repair
How TDC Approaches a Build
- Start with the mission
Towing, daily driving, or fun — the truck's real job decides the parts list.
- Check the foundation
Compression, fuel system health and transmission condition get assessed before power gets added on top.
- Build as a system
Turbo, fuel, airflow, tuning and transmission have to match. Mismatched parts make heat, smoke and broken trucks.
- Support it after
The same shop that built it maintains it — no finger-pointing between the tuner and the mechanic.
