Engine Rebuilds

Engine Rebuilds

When you need engine rebuilds, you want to know that you are getting a dependable service and most importantly a high-quality engine that will keep costs low in the long run. Here at T&L Engineering LTD, our fully qualified team specialise in engine rebuilds, whilst always ensuring a high-performance engine within your budget.

There can be many signs that you need an engine rebuild, in this case it is always best to immediately contact professionals to have an optimum engine once again, whilst ensuring your safety on the road with our high-quality service.

Why Do I Need An Engine Rebuild?

There can be several signs that you should consider getting an engine rebuild. It is always important to contact us quickly when this happens so that you do not risk anybody’s safety when using your vehicle, or have the potential of an accident on the road.

The main reasons for needing an engine rebuild is that you have your engine bearings are wearing away, or that you have poorly positioned piston rings. Bearings produce loud knocking sounds when needing to be rebuilt and piston rings can often release gasses from the car that would usually be contained otherwise. This can then result in the release of excess white smoke from your exhaust.

If you have any of these signs, then it may be time for an engine rebuild. Here at T&L Engineering LTD, we can work quickly and professionally to get your vehicle back on the wall in top condition.
Head Skimming

Head Skimming

Here at T&L Engineering LTD, we have over 65 years of experience in our family run business and our friendly and professional team have dealt with all vehicle problems during this time and specialise in all vehicle servicing, especially head skimming.

Head skimming is the flattening of the cylinder head within an engine, when you require this service, you want the very best to take care of your vehicle.

Being very experienced in the area, no matter how big your problem is, you can always depend on us to deliver a first-class service in speedy time to get you back on the road as soon as possible. Our reliable team are always on hand to provide a range of services for any vehicle and engine.

How Can Cylinder Heads Be Damaged?

Head skimming is only required when your cylinder head in your engine is no longer functioning to its most efficient standards. Over time, as well as through overheating, cylinder heads can become twisted, warped, dished or damaged by corrosion. When this happens, it can be time for head skimming.

Additionally, some heads can be damaged by the cylinder lines moving slightly into the cylinder block within the engine. When this happens you need fast repairs solutions from our team who specialise in the area of head skimming, so we can always provide a quality service including the repair of badly corroded head which may need to be welded before being skimmed.
Pressure Testing

Pressure Testing

Cylinder Head Pressure Testing is often used to find problems with cylinder heads or blocks within your car engine, this method saves a lot of time and allows you to find exactly what faulty components you have and what needs to be done in terms of repairs.

Here at T&L Engineering LTD, we have over 65 years of experiences and have dealt with all problems in car services and cylinder heads. Our fully qualified team can provide pressure testing and quality servicing to repair any problem you have with your vehicle. We always ensure our customers safety when they go back on the road.

What Is Pressure Testing?

Cylinder heads can be cracked in many ways at any time and they can wear out or can crack due to overheating in the engine, or through a cooling system failure. When this happens, or if your vehicle lacks a cylinder head, we provide reliable pressure tests and would highly recommend them as they allow us to find any internal or external faults.

During pressure testing we blank water outlets on the cylinder head and then put pressure on the cylinder head with compressed air, this way we can find if the cylinder head is leaking.

It is always worth getting a pressure test because if the cylinder head is cracked internally, it will not be visible, however by using our methods we can easily check if any cracks within your cylinder head are leaking, before repairing and putting your vehicle back to its best condition.

White metal is relatively soft, leading particles to embed below the surface and therefore protect the crankshaft.

Crankshaft Balancing

Crankshaft Balancing

A crankshaft is one of the main components in the build of an engine, so to optimise performance of your engine you must have a balanced crankshaft. When you require this service, you want the very best and with our dynamic crankshaft balancing here at T&L Engineering LTD, we can provide a high-quality service.

Our fully qualified team has more than 65 years of experience, with the expertise in every aspect of car engines and ensuring that your crankshaft works to its maximum potential. We can provide a wide range of services and there is little we haven’t dealt with during our successful years in engine reconditioning and machining.

Why Do I Need This?

Crankshaft balancing can massively increase the performance of your vehicle and engine whilst also reducing vibrations that may come with stressed metal and an unbalanced engine. Although engines are balanced in a factory condition, the balance can be lost due to weight from pistons, rods or if crankshafts are replaced.

This can then potentially lower the standard of your engine and make it more difficult to run on. If this is something that could easily happen in your vehicle, then it could boost your cars performance greatly through having your crankshaft rebalanced.
Unleaded Conversions

Unleaded Conversions

With 65 years of experience in the vehicle services trade, we have extensive knowledge in all types of vehicle repairs. We have converted many unleaded vehicles in the past and consider ourselves specialists and the best choice for all when they require this service.

Unleaded conversions of cars are very important to keep your car functioning at its best and with our expertise, we can convert your cylinder heads so that they match unleaded petrol, making your engine suitable for lead-free petrol.

Why Do I Need To Convert?

Many vintage cars, as well as other vehicles, are still not converted so that they are suitable for the extra heat of modern day lead-free petrol. The longer you go without unleaded conversions, the more damage you could be constantly causing to your vehicles engine and therefore ruining your car in the process.

This is because the heat of unleaded petrol means that your exhaust valves and seats are almost at melting point. This could potentially ruin your car and make it difficult to travel anywhere with a destroyed engine.

If this is the case then do not worry, with T&L Engineering LTD, we have experience of unleaded conversions within a wide range of different vehicles and their engines.
