Here’s some pics of a small block Chevy engine we rebuilt. Some of the upgrades include TRW forged pistons, a set of Dart cylinder heads with stainless steel valves & a full roller valvetrain. All the hardware is from ARP including a set of polished stainless steel twelve point head bolts. An Edelbrock Air-Gap intake [...]

Here’s some pics of an inline six cylinder DDC (Detroit Diesel Corporation) diesel engine block we have in for machine work. The engine is a model DD13. The engine spun one of the main bearings so a line bore to the housing bore main line will definitely be on the list of machining. The first [...]

Here’s some pics of a custom crank pulley we machined from a solid round piece of billet aluminum. The pulley has v-grooves for old school v type belts as well as serpentine grooves for a newer type serpentine belt. The old pulley was sent to us to use as a pattern for making the new [...]

Here’s some pics of some Harley Davidson EVO cylinders, or jugs, we had in for machine work. The cylinders needed to be bored & honed to some new KB pistons. The original cylinder jugs were barrel shaped, larger in the middle, pretty bad & they didn't come in straight until after the required finished size. [...]

Here’s some pics of a Caterpillar 16M grader axle we have in for rebuilding. The grader axle will be completely disassembled & each major component cleaned, blasted & inspected for cracks & any other wear or damage. All surfaces & bores will get addressed with welding & machining to bring them back to the OE [...]

Here’s some pics of a lean arm we have in for repair. The lean arm goes on each end of a grader front axle. This one is for an 18M Caterpillar grader. We first thermal clean & blast the these parts down to raw metal so we can dye check & magnflux them for cracks. [...]

Here's some before & after pics of a cast iron diesel exhaust manifold that came in for surfacing. The flanges were not sitting at the same plane to each other which was causing excessive exhaust leaks between the exhaust manifold & the cylinder head. Surfacing the exhaust flanges flat from one end to the other [...]

Here’s some pics of a spindle housing we have setup with our automatic bore welder. When we repair & recondition a grader axle each part gets completely repaired & reconditioned back to OE specs. Most of the time the bores where a pin goes are worn & out-of-round. We first machine the bores true & [...]

Here’s some pics of a 5.9 Cummins diesel engine block out of a Dodge Ram truck. The engine block is mounted in our Sunnen CK10 cylinder honing machine. On top of the block is a two inch thick torque plate that is torqued to the deck of the block with a set of ARP cylinder [...]

Here’s some pics of some suspension parts we thermal cleaned & blasted to prep them for new powdercoating. The springs, a-arms, swing arms, beadlock rings & other miscellaneous parts were previously powdercoated in blue. We stripped all the blue powdercoating off & blasted the parts down to raw metal. The parts are now prepped & [...]
