Here's some pics of various parts we're working on in the machine shop. The 1st pic is a 170 cubic inch inline 6-cylinder engine we're rebuilding for a '60's Ford Falcon. The block, cylinder head, and sheet metal are all powder coated. The 2nd & 3rd pics are a Suzuki motorcycle crankshaft that [...]
This is a set of aluminum V8 cylinder heads off of a Lexus. They came in to get checked out as they were overheated due to a bad radiator and cooling system issue. We cleaned them up inside and out so we could dye check them for cracks and then pressure test them [...]
This is a Detroit Diesel DDC DD15 crankshaft that came in for grinding and polishing. The engine overheated and they ran it out of coolant which took out all the rod and main bearings. We'll wet magnaflux it for cracks, check it for hardness and straightness, then grind and polish it. We'll be [...]
This is a couple of inline six cylinder diesel cylinder heads that we rebuilt. The gray cylinder head is a Cummins diesel 5.9 liter 12-valve engine. The yellow cylinder head is a C15 Caterpillar L6 engine. We disassembled both heads and thermal cleaned them in our Bayco cleaning oven. We then blasted them [...]
Here's some engine blocks that are all here for big inch stroker builds. The Ford engine is a brand new FE block from BBM Bear Block Motors. It's going to be built to at least 428 cubic inches. The other two blocks are big block Chevy's. One is a 454 block which will [...]
This is a 350 Chevy small block V8 engine block that is going to be built as a blower motor. We first thermal cleaned and shotblasted the block before magnafluxing it for cracks. It was a 2-bolt main block so we machined it for some 4-bolt billet main caps. After the new four [...]
Here's some pictures of a CP Carrillo forged piston in a Dart Big M block for a big block Chevy based drag race engine we built. In these pics there is clay on top of the piston which we use for checking the piston-to-valve clearance. The clay is placed on the piston and [...]
Here's some pics of a big block Chevy engine block in our Sunnen CK10 cylinder hone. Our customer was hoping his cylinders would clean up by just honing the cylinders so he could get away with a simple re-ring job. Unfortunately the cylinders still have some heavy shadows which indicate worn areas in [...]
The first picture is an inline six cylinder Jeep crankshaft sitting on our front counter. We did a grind & polish to the rod & main journals for some new Clevite rod and main bearings. The second picture is a Ford Falcon inline six cylinder engine block in our Rottler boring bore getting [...]
Here's a couple machining projects in the machine shop. The engine block is a Continental flathead four cylinder out of a Lincoln welder. We removed the old valve guides, pressed in some new valve guides, machined the guides to size for the valve stems, and then cut the valve seats on the seat-and-guide [...]
