Automotive Engineering
Cutting-edge engineering services for conventional and emerging vehicle technologies — high-performance repairs and precision machining for engines and drivetrain components across all vehicle types.
Crankshaft Grinding and Polishing
Crankshaft grinding is the process of restoring worn or damaged crankshaft journals to manufacturer specifications, ensuring smooth engine operation and longevity. MC Engineering provides professional crankshaft grinding and polishing services that restore your crankshaft to exacting tolerances, eliminating excessive wear and restoring engine performance.
Signs your crankshaft needs grinding include:
- Rattling or constant rumbling sounds from the engine on startup
- Excessive vibrations, especially under load, indicating uneven journals or imbalance
- Unsteady or stuttery engine performance indicating crankshaft wear
Cylinder Head Reconditioning
Cylinder head reconditioning is a crucial process that restores an engine’s performance and extends its lifespan. Over time, cylinder heads endure extreme heat, pressure, and wear, leading to inefficiencies and potential failures. MC Engineering provides comprehensive cylinder head reconditioning services including inspection, cleaning, restoration, component repair or replacement, resurfacing to restore sealing capabilities, and pressure testing to detect cracks.
Signs your cylinder head needs reconditioning include:
- Overheating issues caused by warped or cracked heads preventing proper coolant circulation
- Oil or coolant leaks
- Loss of engine power and misfiring
- White smoke from the exhaust indicating head gasket failure
- Ticking or knocking sounds from the engine
Cylinder Block Repairs
MC Engineering provides professional cylinder block repair services designed to restore your engine to maximum torque and compression.
Our cylinder block repair services include:
