  Cylinder Head Reconditioning


Impulse Developments specialise in cylinder heads and are reputed to be the best in
the North West and arguably one of the best in the UK. All cylinder head work is
carried out in-house.

Our knowledge is vast, and as yet we have not found a cylinder head that we have been
unable to recondition or gas flow. Impulse reconditions for petrol, diesel, gas engines, car, motorbikes, light commercials, heavy commercial/industrial, forklift truck, vintage, classic
and modern. This also applies to gas flowed heads, so talk to us and we can advise you
which head would suit you best.
