Here's a couple pics of a driveshaft we made for an ice plant. The original shaft was broken so we were given a drawing with dimensions & specs to machine to. This driveshaft is what we ended up with after machining a solid steel bar stock to the specifications of the drawing. Motor Mission Machine [...]

Here’s some pics of a cylinder head & cylinder block for a Polaris RZR XP1000 UTV side-by-side. We performed a three angle valve job & surface on the cylinder head to bring it back up to snuff. The cylinders were good enough to get by with a quick brush up with our diamond stones in [...]

Here's some pics of an engine block while we were honing the cylinders to size. We have a torque plate installed & torqued to the deck to simulate the cylinder head being installed. The torque plate distorts the cylinders as the cylinder heads would when they are installed. This allows us to hone the cylinders [...]

Here’s some engine rebuild parts we ordered in for an engine build. The parts are for a 2019 Kawasaki 450 dirt bike that suffered internal damage due to a loss of oil. The cases & cylinder head luckily lived with no damage but the crankshaft, connecting rod & cylinder need to be replaced. The piston [...]

Here's some custom machined tubular bushings we made for one of our customers. They call these dog bone bushings which are used on the Caterpillar haul trucks. We make them out of a high grade steel material which yields a higher hardness than typical off the shelf steel material does. This is a batch of [...]

Here's a couple of trailer hubs that came in with the bores worn & damaged where the races are supposed to press in place. We machined the bores true, round & on center. We then machined some sleeves which we pressed into the reconditioned bores. After the sleeves were pressed in place we machined the [...]

These are some aluminum valve covers for a 6.6 liter LBZ Duramax diesel engine. The valve covers, or rocker covers, were greasy & tarnished so we first cycled them in our jet wash spray cabinet. We then blasted them before surfacing the sealing surfaces flat & square. We then gave them a coat of gray [...]

This is a set of cylinder heads off a Kawasaki 750 Teryx side-by-side, or UTV. The engine spun a rod bearing & one of the pistons wacked one of the cylinder heads. Both heads were slightly warped & all the intake valves were pounded out & thin as razor blades on their margins. We performed [...]

This is a Chevy Cruze cylinder head that we rebuilt with a complete valve job & surface. The engine is a 1.4 liter turbocharged powerplant. The engine overheated which caused the head gasket to embed itself into the surface of the head leaving lots of low spots. After machining the valve seats round & concentric [...]

Here's an old cast iron water pump that came in for repairing & rebuilding. These old water pumps come in due to the seals leaking which usually also means the main shaft is pitted & corroded. We typically end up machining a new shaft if the original one is too far gone. Sometimes the original [...]
