At O'Reilly Auto Parts, our machine shops provide a full range of professional services to help you rebuild your engine and transmission components with expert precision. Our experienced technicians use high-quality equipment to ensure every job is done right the first time.
Cylinder Boring and Resizing
When you need to rebuild an engine, we can resize cylinders or install sleeves if the cylinder walls are damaged, cracked, or already bored to their maximum size. This process allows you to reuse your engine block, saving you money. We can also resize pistons or use oversized ones to fit new sleeves.
Cylinder Head Resurfacing
Engine overheating or a failed head gasket can cause cylinder heads to warp. Our team can resurface them by milling the contact surface until it's perfectly flat and within factory specifications. This prevents leaks and ensures the pistons don't make contact with the valves. We can also clean heads to remove buildup and restore them to like-new condition.
Flywheel Grinding
For manual transmissions, a worn flywheel can cause poor clutch performance. We can grind your flywheel to create a flat, smooth surface, which is essential for a new clutch to engage completely. We recommend having this done whenever you replace your clutch to ensure optimal, long-lasting performance.
Crankshaft and Connecting Rod Reconditioning
If your crankshaft is damaged, we can often refinish it by grinding a small amount of material from the journals to bring it back to original specifications. This is typically a more affordable option than buying a new one. We can also recondition connecting rods by cleaning, testing, and measuring them for strength and straightness. We can replace stretched bolts and hone the bores to factory spec, providing a complete assembly ready for installation.
