Today we’re welding together an aluminum oil pan for a 6 cylinder engine.
The weld structure is processed using a sharpened block mounting flange and the back and surface are firmly welded.
It will not be annealed, but it is a very firm weld.

After this, we will finish the flange surface and the work is complete.

Today we’re tending to the wounds of a FERRARI 308 by weld repairing the cylinder head which has a crack in the combustion chamber.
We will perform checks, pre-welding treatment, then laser weld by melting with light and welding it as shown in the image.
Of course, after this we will perform a pressure check to confirm there are no leaks.

There have been many repairs similar to this as of late.
The engine that has had the most crack repairs is the Nissan S20.
We still have 6 head crack repairs to tend to after this.

We’re working on a VR38 cylinder head today.
This time we’re going to do some CNC porting and processing the CNC combustion chamber.
The crank shaft has been rebalanced, and the valve seats will just get a cut, but we’re sure it’ll be a great finish.
I can never get tired of looking at these engines…

Several Toyota 2JZ’s have been assembled.
Many billet crankcaps are also being processed.
We want to get all these out by the end of September, so we have our work cut out for us.
Still have to make those dummy heads for the blocks, gotta kick on the turbo!

We’re working on fixing up this guy today, the Lamborghini Diablo V12 cylinder head.
This engine had a cam line failure, and we’re going to be making new caps for it.
The image shows the engine about to undergo line boring. Since the diameter is small, we’re being extra careful with this one.
The thrust surface also looks banged up, so we’re going to fix up the end face as well.
We talked about cam caps in an oder blog, but they’re made through designing them in 3D-CAD and CADCAM, then cutting them out.
