• 

  Boring and Honing

  We send the motor offsite for boring and honing.

  Grinding the Crankshaft

  We send the Crankshaft offsite for grinding

  Facing all blocks

  All our engines have the block face remachined, to ensure you don’t have to deal with leaking or blown head gaskets later down the track.

• 

  Checking compression heights

  Compression heights on modern motors are critical, all motors have piston heights checked and are machined to manufacture specifications.

• 

  Machining or replacing Precombustion Chambers

  Some cylinder heads need to have Precombustion Chambers machined or replaced. We are one of the few Engine Reconditioners that are able to set Precups Heights.

• 

  Regrinding or replacing the crankshaft

  Crankshafts are checked and either reground or replaced, Head Exchange will not fit a crankshaft ground to more than 0.020”.

• 

  

  

  Assembling the motor

  The motor is now being assembled using angle torque gauge. All timing marks will be paint marked and photographed for future reference.
