Our
wide range of machinery and staff of skilled engineers allows us to undertake
work on most sizes of engines from small lawnmower engines up to high capacity
car, truck, bus and marine engines.
We
are favoured, in particular by veteran and vintage car restorers who often bring
to us worn and seized engines for a complete overhaul.
The
cylinder block is the heaviest part of the engine, with the cylinder bores prone
to wear and damage: deep scoring and grooving occur when the piston rings are
worn or broken, causing loss of compression, loss of performance and ultimately
seizure.
Damage can also occur when the crankshaft wears completely through main bearings
damaging the main line surface below.
Cylinder Reboring
Cylinder reboring restores the surface of the cylinder walls by removing damaged
surface metal thus restoring the cylinder surfaces to true cylinder dimensions.
This operation increases the cylinder capacity, thus we supply new pistons and
piston rings.
Cylinder Sleeving
Where required we are able to fit dry or wet cylinder liners.
Main Line Reclamation
Where the cylinder block has been subject to heavy wear through the main
bearings, damaging the main line surfaces, we can line bore and supply
oversize main bearings where available.
