Thorough Cleaning

To produce something of good quality, the original components must first be in good working order. To achieve this. Every Cat 3054 engine is completely stripped.

Valve height is mic-d and every head is vacuum tested to assure correct valve seating.

Cylinder Blocks

The blocks are inspected by magnetic particles for cracks and imperfections. Cylinders are bored, fastened and inspected for the precise tolerance. Torque plate honing is performed on some engines to eliminate the chances of any cylinder head distortion after the head is bolted and torqued to the block. This process ensures to eliminate a major cause of engine blow-by. Block surfaces are machined and then inspected to ensure proper finish.

Camshafts

Camshafts are then examined and accurately machined to provide correct lift. Lobs are calculated with a micrometer to make sure OEM tolerances are met.

Connecting Rods

Connecting rods are thoroughly cleaned, machined to OEM specifications, then honed to the standard diameter of original equipment for the even distribution of stress on the bearings. New bushings are also fitted and machined in all bushed rods. Every rod is carefully inspected for any bend and/or twist.
