What we do

Engine machine services

We are a dedicated automotive machine shop. Everything we do is engine work — for cars, light and large trucks, diesel, industrial equipment, farm tractors and motorcycles.

  • Cylinder Boring

    Precision boring to restore true, round cylinders and correct wear before your rebuild.

  • Cylinder Sleeving

    Save a cracked or scored block with a properly fitted sleeve instead of replacing it.

  • Stroker Block Machining

    Clearance and machine work for stroker rotating assemblies and custom builds.

  • Line Boring & Honing

    Main bore alignment and honing so your crank spins straight and bearings live longer.

  • Block & Head Surfacing

    Flat, clean deck and head surfaces for a gasket seal that holds under real load.

  • Diesel & Heavy Duty

    Machining for diesel truck, industrial, farm tractor and motorcycle engines.

FAQ

Common questions

Still have a question about your engine? Give us a call — we're happy to talk it through.

  • What kinds of engines do you machine?

    Automotive, light and large truck, diesel, industrial, farm tractor and motorcycle engines. We are a machine shop — we do engine machine work only, not oil changes, tires or general repair.

  • Do you guarantee your machine work?

    Yes. All machine work is guaranteed to your satisfaction. If something isn't right, we make it right.

  • How long have you been in business?

    We opened our doors on January 1, 2016 and bring over 10 years of hands-on engine machining experience to every job.

  • Can you save a block that another shop said was scrap?

    Often, yes. Sleeving, line boring and surfacing can bring a worn or damaged block back into spec. Bring it by and we'll give you an honest assessment.

  • How fast do you respond?

    Calling is the fastest way to reach us. If we're on a machine and miss your call, we return it within 2 hours during business hours.

  • Do you work with shops and businesses, not just individuals?

    Yes — we machine for homeowners and DIY builders, repair shops, fleets, businesses and tractor companies.
