Here's some pics of a big block Chevy 502 engine block and a set of SRP forged pistons. The block came in for a bore and hone to the cylinders. After cleaning the block we mounted it in our Rottler boring bar machine and bored the cylinders to within five thousandths (.005) of their final [...]

This is a four cylinder Isuzu diesel cylinder head that came in for a valve job and surface. Diesel engines get pretty black and greasy from the soot that contaminates the engine oil. We'll get it all cleaned up and post more pics after we get it rebuilt and looking like new again. Motor Mission [...]

Here's a pic of a corroded and pitted aluminum cylinder head surface and a cast iron cylinder of a small block Chevy engine. We see a fair amount of pitting and corrosion with both aluminum as well as cast iron heads and blocks. The pitting can simply come from bad antifreeze coolant that has broken [...]

Here's some pics of a small block Ford 289 cubic inch V8 engine we did all the machine work to. The engine is setup with a set of Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads. In addition to performing all the machine work to the block, crank, connecting rods and cylinder heads we also supplied all the new [...]

The second pic is a twin turbo GM Chevy [...]

Here's some before and after pics of some Suzuki GSXR motorcycle engine cases. The cases came in with a broken tap that had to be removed before reparing the threads. After we got the tap removed and the threads repaired we bored the cases for oversize cylinder jugs and then surfaced the base gasket area [...]

Here's some pics of a 5.9 liter 6BT twelve valve Cummins diesel engine we're machining. This engine is getting the works as far as machine work is concerned for a moderately high horsepower build. Our customer is building this engine to put into his late model Ford truck to replace the 6.4 liter Powerstroke diesel [...]

Here's a pic of a crankshaft and some cylinder heads we have done some machining to. The crankshaft is a 3.5 liter V6 Chrysler that we had to grind and polish. The rod and main journals were scratched and worn bad enough that a polish only wouldn't clean them up so we ground it .020/.010. [...]

This is a 60-Series Detroit inline six cylinder diesel engine cylinder head. The engine is getting an in-frame rebuild so the head was brought into us to get checked out and freshened up if necessary. We did a magnaflux and pressure test and no cracks or leaks were detected. The only major thing we found [...]
