Here's some pics of a set of connecting rods for a Ford Powerstroke diesel engine. They came in to have the wrist pin bushings replaced. The small ends of the rods are tapered so we pressed the old pin bushings out with our tapered pin bushing fixtures and tooling and then pressed in the new [...]

Here's some pics of a 24 valve 5.9 liter Cummins diesel cylinder head with numerous cracks. It came in to get magnafluxed for cracks and pressure tested. This is what can happen to cylinder heads of an engine when the radiator and cooling system fail or aren't maintained. Overheating will result in cracks in the [...]

Here's some pics of a 350 Chevy small block engine block that we did all the machine work to. It got the full works including thermal cleaning, shot blasting, magnaflux for cracks, bore & hone to the cylinders, surface and square of the decks, and align honing to the housing bore.

We'll post some more pics of this engine project [...]

He had us do all the machine work to the block, crank, connecting rods, and cylinder head for him. These are some progress pics he sent us while he [...]

Here's a set of SBC 350 Chevy V8 small block cast iron cylinder heads we did a valve job and surface to. The guides were out of spec with too much valve stem-to-guide clearance and there was one bent intake valve. We installed new guides and replaced the valve along with the complete rebuild and [...]

Here's some pics of a 3116 Caterpillar inline six cylinder diesel cylinder head. Our customer brought the cylinder head in for repair as it was leakig fuel into the oil. During the magnaflux and pressure test we found a couple of cracks that were leaking. For this particular job it was quicker to exchange the [...]
