The Serdi 3.5 is a precision-engineered valve guide and seat cutting machine, optimized for modern multi-valve automotive and motorcycle cylinder heads. It uses Serdi’s patented triple air-float centering system and an integrated spindle motor to automatically align and cut valve seats — even on heads with small or offset guides.
This machine is a great fit for performance shops, rebuild shops, and custom engine builders who work on a variety of cylinder heads — from standard passenger cars and motorcycles to some light-duty performance or custom builds. Its capability to handle smaller guide diameters and deliver consistent seat finishes makes it ideal for multi-valve heads or precision seat jobs.

Decades before today’s engine shops trusted our equipment, Tony was already deep in the craft — rebuilding motors, machining blocks, and pushing for better precision.
A local newspaper once featured him as a standout young machinist, noting his drive, attention to detail, and obsession with doing things the right way. That same passion would eventually shape our company’s values.
Today, that commitment lives on in every machine we sell, every customer we support, and every shop we help succeed.
