What we can do for you.....

MACHINING

We carry out specialist engine machining services for all classic, modern & vintage cars both petrol & diesel. Our work is not restricted to cars we also carry out work on forklift, lorry and boat engines. All our machining and engine building is carried out in house.

CYLINDER HEAD MACHINING

We undertake any machining task on many cylinder heads, including;

• Cylinder head testing and reworking i.e :-

Unleaded conversion, valve guide conversion, integral guide conversion, Colsibro guide conversion, bucket guide conversion. With valve guides we have the facility to diamond hone & to measure internal diameters correctly to give the right clearances.

• Valve spring testing.

• Cylinder head re-facing. This is done on a Rottler machine which has adjustable levelling enabling a cylinder head to be set up very quickly. All re-facing uses a diamond tool bit with which there is zero distortion.

• Hot pressure test. Especially on aluminium is a must as it opens the pores within the casting allowing you to find the leak when hot. This cannot be done when cold as cracks will not be found.

• Crack test

• Porting & polishing

• Super flow bench testing with swell & tumble facilities. This is a must in the development of a race engine. All power comes from the head & camshaft.
