Complete Engine Rebuilds
We meticulously restore and reuse as many of your engine’s original components as possible. Every rebuild is machined with CNC precision, delivering performance that’s “like new”—but even more reliable.
Crankshaft Balancing & Polishing
Balancing enhances performance by promoting smoother engine operation, reducing energy loss, and extending engine life. Polishing ensures that bearing surfaces and journals are ultra-smooth, improving longevity and consistency.
Cylinder Head Work
Our capabilities include head surfacing, complete rebuilds, pressure testing, seat and guide installation, and comprehensive valve jobs.
Block Work
We perform precise machining such as boring, decking, CNC honing (using diamond stones for uncompromised accuracy), and clearance modifications for stroke engines.
Cylinder Sleeving
In applications requiring reduced cylinder diameter, we install high-quality Melling Darton or Power-bore sleeves to ensure precise performance every time.
