Valve Repair in Jenison, MI

Valve Repair And Adjustment Services

Healthy valves seal the combustion chamber and time airflow so your engine breathes properly. When clearances drift or parts wear, you’ll feel it as lost power, rough running, or warning lights. Our team performs precise inspections, accurate adjustments, and component repairs to restore performance and reliability.

How We Diagnose Valve Problems

• Targeted road test and scan for fault codes
• Compression and leak-down testing to pinpoint sealing losses
• Vacuum readings to assess breathing efficiency
• Borescope inspection for valve face, seat, and cylinder condition
• Oil analysis for wear metals when appropriate

Common Symptoms You Might Notice

• Hard starts, rough idle, or misfires—especially when cold
• Ticking from the top end that changes with RPM
• Reduced power under load or on grade
• Increased fuel consumption or exhaust smoke
• Check-engine light with airflow or misfire codes

Repairs & Corrections We Handle

• Valve lash measurement and adjustment to spec
• Rocker, bridge, pushrod, and lifter inspection/replacement
• Spring pressure testing and spring/retainer replacement
• Stem seal replacement to curb oil consumption
• Seat reconditioning, guide work, and valve replacement when needed
• Head-gasket and head-reconditioning coordination when damage is advanced

You get clear results: restored compression, smoother idle, better throttle response, and fewer unplanned outages.

What Makes Us Different

You need work you can count on, done by people you can reach. That’s our culture. Our founder built this company on a simple promise—don’t turn people away. We maintain a deep bench so there’s always at least one technician who can solve the issue in front of you, even when it’s unusual or urgent.

Our owner was born in Tasmania and learned the trade on his family farm, where equipment had to earn its keep every day. That practical mindset drives our approach here in Michigan: fix what’s wrong, prevent what’s next, and keep your engines in service.

For fire departments, confidence matters. We have EVT Master Certified technicians on staff for fire trucks and apparatus, so your pumpers, aerials, and rescues are handled by pros who understand the mission. If you run Toyne apparatus, you’ll appreciate our dealer-level support—streamlined parts sourcing, correct procedures, and documentation your chiefs and city hall expect.

How Do I Know My Engine Valves Need Attention?

Watch for ticking from the valve cover area, misfires, and rough idle—especially on cold start. Loss of power or fuel economy and gray or blue exhaust smoke are also clues. A compression or leak-down test confirms whether a valve isn’t sealing, guiding the right repair instead of guesswork.

What Is A Valve Lash Adjustment And Why Does It Matter?

Valve lash is the clearance between the valve train and the valve it moves. Too tight, and valves can hang open and burn; too loose, and you’ll hear noise and lose lift. Periodic measurement and adjustment maintain proper timing, sealing, and performance, and reduce wear on related components.
