Instructional Videos

We just may be the only company to offer instructional videos to our customers. In this video section we give you an over-the-shoulder view as we do various machine shop operations. We hope this will help you, our customers, better understand the machine shop operations we will perform on your cylinder head when you send it to us. We are always adding new videos that are accessible via our website to improve our customers’ knowledge.

NOTE: You may also view our videos by going to YouTube and searching “short block charlie.”
