What We Do
Engineering Services
Beyond stocking parts, our Bradford factory provides specialist reconditioning and engineering services — from cylinder head rebuilds to spark erosion, welding, and marine engine overhauls.
Cylinder Head Reconditioning
Full strip, acid bath cleaning, crack & pressure testing, face machining, valve guide inspection, valve seat work, and clearance setting. All work to OEM specification.
Cylinder Block Reconditioning
Acid bath cleaning, crack and pressure testing, bore checking with micro honing or reboring, main housing assessment, and face flatness machining. Single to V12 cylinders.
Crankshaft Reconditioning
Crack testing, alignment checking, oil gallery cleaning, machining to suitable bearing sizes, and micro polishing to restore worn crankshafts to specification.
Connecting Rod Reconditioning
Cleaning, crack testing, straightness verification, overheating inspection, big/small end sizing, bush replacement, and micro polishing of both ends.
Crankshaft Journal Rebuilding
We operate 1 of only 3 Gleason Crankshaft Journal Welders available in the UK — rebuilding severely worn journals when standard machining is no longer viable.
Diesel Pump Testing & Reconditioning
Back leaks, pre-injector values, fuel delivery and spray pattern testing. Compatible with mechanical and common rail injectors — CAV, Bosch, Delphi, Denso, and Siemens.
Spark Erosion & Helicoiling
Spark eroder burns out broken studs, bolts, drill bits, and stud extractors while maintaining the original thread. Helicoil thread inserts for stripped holes.
