ENGINE INSPECTIONS AND REPAIRS

We provide full block inspection services to completely understand the condition of the block and the work required to remanufacture it back to OEM specifications. We also perform upper and lower refits, re-sleeving, lifter bore replacements, and specialty repairs and updates on blocks. Whether it’s working on an Arrow single-cylinder or up to the 3600 Series of diesel engines from Caterpillar (and everything else in-between) we have the largest equipment capacity available for our diesel and natural gas engine customers.

 

Our Block Department is equipped with the newest line of boring mills from Rottler. The Rottler F68A, F99Y, F105A, and F109 are some of the impressive CNC equipment that provides the precision and highest quality finish possible. The latest addition to the fleet is the Rottler F109. This is the largest engine block boring mill of its kind available today and employs a unique Right Angle Drive configuration for accomplishing unequalled results when align boring the main bearings on the largest blocks. 

 

The 109’s capacity also allows for the resurfacing of almost all of the natural gas engine decks in use with just one pass, eliminating problems associated with moving and realigning the engine block to complete the job using conventional boring mills. This also applies to the oil pan rails and the compressor beds for larger engines. Another feature is 3-axis computerized machining for tasks such as the water directors on the engine block deck and other modifications and upgrades that become available.

HOW TO IDENTIFY ENGINE BLOCK FAILURES?

You might notice the following signs if you have an engine block concern:

Excessive pressure in the cooling system could indicate improper liner support from cracked or worn counterbores.
A leaking head gasket may be due to a poor or uneven deck surface.
Due to a poorly aligned bore, oil pressure problems may be caused by cam bushings or main bearing clearances.

We understand the importance of your equipment uptime so we treat every job like it is our own. Our goal is to get you back operating quickly and economically without sacrificing quality. You can contact us to inspect and repair all the possible block conditions that impact the operation of your equipment today.

SHORT BLOCK VS. LONG BLOCK: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

Located at the bottom of an engine, the short block contains critical components starting with the cylinder block while also including the crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons. At TRAC Engine Services Ltd, a short block service will include the assembly of these components into the engine block including any seals, bearings and bushings where needed to complete the installation. The customer may supply the installation parts as they are often found within the engine rebuild kits purchased prior.
