This is a progress post of a 1957 Cadillac 365 cubic inch V8 engine we're rebuilding. The pics in this post show the crankshaft, which we did a grind and polish to, laying in the block. With the crank installed in the block we are checking the main bearing oil clearances. Then there [...]
Here's some pics of a Komatsu 830E Mesabi-style haul truck radiator we rebuilt. These radiators have just under 1,300 individual L&M radiator tubes. Each tube is removed and then pressure washed, cleaned in the ultrasonic, & then both ends of each tube get buffed and polished for engagement into the new upper & [...]
Here's some pics of a pair of Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads that came in for a valve job & surface. Along with the valve job we machined the valve seats for some new oversize stainless steel valves from Competition Cams. We also machined the valve spring seats of the heads for some valve [...]
Here's some pics of some radiators that cool flathead V8 engines. The radiators aren't completely finished in these pics. The fins still need to be straightened before we give them a fresh coat of black paint. The two pics of the same radiator is for a Cadillac with a flathead V8 engine & [...]
Engine machining can be a boring job!! This is a Chevy - GM LS base engine block that came in to have it's cylinders bored and honed for some new oversize DNJ pistons and rings. We first hot tank the block to remove any dirt, grease, & grime. We then mount the block [...]
These are some random radiators that we did some work to. The black radiators are simply all metal copper & brass radiators that we overhauled by giving them a standard rod and repair. The dirty radiator is off of a crusher that came in for a recore re-core. And the larger radiator core [...]
This is a Caterpillar 993 loader fuel tank that came in for repairs because the loader would quit running after it got just below half a tank of fuel. We cut it open and found several broken baffles internally which caused damage to the fuel pick-up tube. So we repaired all the internal [...]
This is an industrial flat-fin bolt-on radiator and oil cooler off of a Caterpillar 834B wheel dozer which is also called an RTD, or rubber tire dozer. The original core was on its last leg as it had several tubes already blocked off from the last rebuild. So we ordered a new radiator [...]
This is a two stroke motorcycle crankshaft that came in for repair. 2-stroke cranks are usually a pressed together unit meaning that the counterweights of the crank are pressed onto the connecting rod pin. So a connecting rod & pin kit is puchased. We then disassemble the crank in the press and then [...]
Here's some random pictures of various bolt-on industrial radiators for garbage trucks. These radiators have holes in the cores which is referred to as a crankhole or crankbox. A driveahaft, or PTO (power take-off) goes through the radiator to turn/power a hydraulic pump. We are ready & prepared for all your radiator repair, [...]
