Engine machining service
Engine Block Machining
An engine block's condition can affect an entire repair or rebuilding project. Before starting work, it is important to determine what can be restored and what needs attention.
Universal Crankshaft machines engine blocks for automotive, diesel, industrial and heavy-equipment applications, with the advantage of coordinating multiple engine services in the same shop.
Evaluate an engine block before proceeding
Before starting work, it is important to understand the engine block's actual condition.
An initial evaluation may be possible using a few photos or a short video. This can help our team better understand the situation before a heavy engine block is moved or shipped.
A physical inspection may still be needed to confirm the engine block's condition and the work required.
A complete engine machine shop under one roof
Engine block work may need to be coordinated with other engine components.
Universal Crankshaft can also work on crankshafts, cylinder heads, camshafts, balancing, flywheels and clutches, as well as engine assembly.
This capability helps coordinate multiple stages of a job in one shop rather than involving several providers.

Everything under one roof.
Assessment, machining, grinding, certain parts and assembly can therefore all be handled in one location, depending on the engine's needs.
Engine block machining for a range of applications
Our shop works on engine blocks for automotive, performance and racing, diesel, trucks and heavy equipment, industrial applications, tractors and agricultural equipment, marine applications and small engines.
Each engine block is assessed based on its condition and the work actually required.
Direct expertise to evaluate an engine block
When an engine block shows wear or damage, the first step is to understand its condition and potential for restoration.
Richard and his team can examine the engine block, visible damage and other engine components that need consideration to guide the customer toward the next step.
You speak directly with a team that understands engines and components and can consider the entire project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a damaged engine block always need replacing?
Not necessarily. The block's condition and restoration potential must first be assessed to determine what work should be considered.
Can an initial engine block evaluation be done using photos or a video?
Yes. A few photos or a short video of the engine block can help our team make an initial evaluation before the part is moved or shipped. A physical inspection may still be needed to confirm its condition and the work required.
Have an engine block you'd like evaluated?
Before moving or shipping an engine block, send us the information you have.
You can also include a few photos or a short video of the engine block to help us make an initial evaluation.
