IN SITU, ON SITE LINER LANDING MACHINING

Onsite journal machining, repairs and grinding

 

Upper and lower liner landing repairs to heavy industrial and marine diesel engines have been successfully repaired using our specialised boring and facing system. In conjunction with make-up sleeve insertion and the use of liquid nitrogen, many engine types benefit from this service and saves cylinder blocks from scrappage.

Machining set up on a small high speed Dorman/Perkins type engine to repair the damaged lower liner landing area by means of fitting a 5mm wall make-up sleeve

IN-SITU LINER LANDING MACHINING

 

  • Range of equipment from 150mm diameter.

  • Quality, to OEM design tolerances.

  • Alignment technique to ensure that the seal faces and bores are machine square and parallel to the axis of the crankshaft.

  • Design, manufacture and fitting of cast iron and steel make-up sleeve in the event that bores and faces are seriously damaged. To re-establish OEM design sizes.

  • Selective electro plating and thermal spraying to re-establish OEM design sizes.

  • Metal stitching of fractures, cracks and broken areas of the cylinder block.
