Here's some pics of a late model Mark V big block Chevy engine block in our Sunnen line hone machine. We are utilizing a set of ARP main studs so the housing bore needs to be honed to ensure each bore is on size as well as to make it true front-to-rear. Motor Mission Machine [...]

Here's a set of aluminum 5.7 liter LS Chevrolet cylinder heads off of a 2003 Z06 Corvette. One of the valve springs was broken so we did a complete three angle valve job and surface. We assembled the heads with eight new intake valves, 16 positive valve stem seals, and a full set of Competition [...]

Here's some pics of some Sealed Power TRW forged pistons for a 454 big block Chevy high performance engine. In the 2 pics with the clay on the pistons you can see that the clay is pretty thin at the deepest area of the intake valve releif pocket. In the other two pics you can [...]

This is a set of 4.0 liter aluminum V6 cylinder heads that came in off of a Ford Explorer. We blasted them clean, did a pressure test on them to make sure they weren't cracked or leaking, and then gave them a three angle valve job on our Tobin-Arp seat-and-guide machine. We then milled their [...]

Here's some pics of a 170 cubic inch inline six cylinder engine we rebuilt. The engine is out of a 1964 Ford Falcon that our customer is restoring. The engine came in and we thermal cleaned, balsted, and magnafluxed everything to make sure there weren't any cracks. The owner then took the engine block, cylinder [...]

The cylinders were at standard bore so we bored the cylinders in our Rottler boring bar for a new set of high performance Wiseco forged pistons. We then finish honed the cylinders to size in our Sunnen CK10 honing machine giving [...]

Both the intake and exhaust valve seats were heavily pitted and eroded so we machined all eight seats for hardened seat inserts. We then machined the new hardened seats with our three angle seat cutters for [...]
