Why Choose Apexx Engines for Your Porsche?
Our Comprehensive Porsche Cylinder Head Skimming
Our service includes a free DVSA vehicle recall check to ensure any safety‑critical issues are addressed before we start work. This helps prevent unexpected problems and keeps your Porsche road‑worthy.
A cylinder head skim restores compression, removes oil‑burning surfaces and eliminates the risk of further engine damage. By machining the head back to its original dimensions we regain lost power and improve fuel efficiency.
We use OEM‑grade components and state‑of‑the‑art equipment to guarantee the highest standards of workmanship. Every cylinder head passes a final inspection before delivery, ensuring your Porsche performs like new.
Our 5-Step Service Process
Initial Inspection
The technician inspects the cylinder head for wear, cracks and surface condition using a calibrated measuring gauge.
Cleaning & Preparation
The head is thoroughly cleaned to remove oil, carbon and old gasket material, ensuring a perfect skimming surface.
Skimming to OEM Spec
Using a high‑precision skimming machine we restore the head to the original factory dimensions.
Quality Check & Test Fit
We verify the machined surface with a feeler gauge and perform a test‑fit before final assembly.
Reassembly & Final Test
The cylinder head is re‑installed, bolts tightened to spec, and the engine undergoes a compression test to confirm performance.

Common Porsche Engine Solutions in North Yorkshire
Common problems that cylinder head skimming solves include loss of compression, reduced power output, excessive oil consumption and engine misfires.
Loss of Compression
Reduced compression can cause sluggish acceleration and higher fuel consumption. Skimming restores the correct sealing surface.
Reduced Engine Power
A worn head reduces airflow and combustion efficiency. Precision skimming regains lost horsepower.
Excessive Oil Consumption
Worn cylinder walls or damaged head gaskets increase oil loss. We machine the head to eliminate leakage.
Detected Cracks
Small cracks can lead to catastrophic failure. Our inspection and skimming process identifies and repairs these issues.
Engine Misfire
Misfires often stem from uneven combustion surfaces. Skimming evens the surfaces for smoother operation.
Poor Engine Smoothness
Rough running is a sign of uneven head geometry. Re‑machining restores smoothness and responsiveness.
Proactive Maintenance: Addressing these concerns early often prevents extensive damage and reduces long-term repair costs. Regular professional assessment is key to maintaining vehicle health and performance.
