Services
Cylinder Head Repairs
Our cylinder head repairs include pressure testing, resurfacing, valve and seat resurfacing, and crack repairs. We use precision equipment to ensure proper sealing and performance, addressing distortion, corrosion, or damage from overheating. Services cater to petrol and diesel engines, with options for on-site valve guide replacement and unleaded conversions.
Engine Diagnostic Service
We utilise advanced diagnostic tools to identify engine faults, including ECU scanning, sensor checks, and leak detection. Our team addresses issues like timing belt failures, turbo malfunctions, and engine management faults, ensuring accurate repairs. Annual diagnostics are recommended to prevent costly breakdowns and maintain vehicle performance.
Air Conditioning Service
Our air conditioning services include system recharging, fault finding, and component replacement. We address refrigerant leaks, inefficient cooling, and odour issues caused by bacteria buildup. Using state-of-the-art leak detection kits, we ensure systems are vacuumed and recharged correctly, restoring optimal climate control for passenger comfort.
Crankshaft Grinding
Crankshaft grinding restores damaged journals to standard specifications, requiring undersized bearings. We combine grinding with polishing to eliminate wear and ensure smooth operation. Our process includes crack testing and alignment checks, preventing engine failures caused by lubrication issues or misalignment.
Metal Stitching
Metal stitching repairs cracks in cast metals like cylinder heads and engine blocks without welding. Using specialised pins and locks, we restore structural integrity, avoiding the risks of heat distortion. This method is ideal for cast iron components where welding is impractical or ineffective.
