Line bore
Line boring service as part of engine block machining
Line boring is among the services offered by Universal Crankshaft when an engine block requires work suited to its condition.
Before starting, our team assesses the engine block and the broader engine situation to determine the operations required and how line boring fits with any other work needed.
Evaluate the engine block before line boring
The decision to perform line boring must be based on the engine block's actual condition.
Universal Crankshaft therefore considers the block, the components involved and any other work that may be necessary before deciding how to proceed.
A physical inspection of the block may be required to confirm the work needed.
A service integrated with engine block machining
Line boring can be part of a broader engine job.
Our shop also offers engine block machining and can work on crankshafts, cylinder heads, camshafts and other components as needed.
When several operations are required, they can be coordinated in the same shop to maintain an overall view of the engine and its components.
Everything under one roof
Universal Crankshaft can handle several stages of the same job: inspection, machining, reconditioning, supply of certain parts and assembly as needed.
This helps avoid unnecessarily splitting operations among several shops when an engine needs more than line boring.
Line boring is among the operations performed on the Rottler EM79 CNC machining centre — see the shop's equipment.
Capabilities for different types of engines
Our shop works on engines used in automotive, diesel, industrial, trucking, heavy-equipment, agricultural, marine and performance applications.
The work is determined by the engine, the block's condition and the components involved, rather than following the same approach in every case.
Frequently Asked Questions About Line Boring
How do you determine whether an engine block needs line boring?
The engine block's condition must be evaluated before confirming the work. A physical inspection may be needed to identify the appropriate operations.
Can you perform line boring alongside other engine block work?
Yes. Universal Crankshaft also offers engine block machining and can coordinate line boring with other work required on the block and engine components.
Have Your Engine Block Evaluated
Do you have an engine block that may need line boring or other machining work?
Share the available information about the engine and its condition. Our team can determine the next steps and confirm whether the block needs to be inspected at the shop.
