  • No obligationThe inspection stands on its own. Plenty of enquiries end with a check you can do yourself.

This is how we will reply — it is faster than email.

“Not sure” is a perfectly good answer.

We use your details to answer your enquiry. We do not sell or share them, and we will not add you to a mailing list.

Ask us to measure it before you ask us to quote it

Most people approach a workshop asking for a price. On engine work that is the wrong opening move — the price is a consequence of measurements nobody has taken yet.

Whether your crankshaft can be ground rather than replaced is not a matter of opinion. It turns on ovality, hardness, bend, crack depth, and how much material is left above the lowest undersize that bearing shells are actually made in. Every one of those is a number, and every one can be taken in a morning. Until they have been, “repair it” and “replace it” are both guesses — including ours.

What happens next

How a job is assessed and approved

The method does not change with the size of the job.

  1. You tell us what is happeningCall, WhatsApp, email or the form.
  2. We tell you what we need to seeThe component, a site visit — or a check you can do yourself for nothing. A fair number of enquiries end here, and that is a good outcome.
  3. The part is cleaned and inspectedNothing is measured dirty. Magnetic particle inspection on steel and cast iron; dye penetrant where the geometry suits it better.
  4. It is measured, and the readings written downAgainst the engine manufacturer's service limits.
  5. You get a scope and quotation in writingThe operations, the parts, and where relevant the replacement cost beside the repair cost — so you decide on numbers, not on our advice.
  6. You approveNothing is cut and no part is ordered on your account before you agree the scope and the figure.
  7. If the job changes, you get a phone call firstA crack test that alters the scope, a bore at its last oversize — you hear it as it is found, and the machine stops until you decide.
  8. The work is carried out and verifiedThe same measurements, on the same instruments, after machining as before.
  9. It is tested where testing appliesA bench test on injection equipment, a run on an engine, a load test on a genset where the job justifies it.
  10. It is returned with its recordThe measurement sheet travels with the part.

Why we publish no prices

What the number actually turns on

The same symptom can have a cheap cause or an expensive one. Any workshop that quotes an engine job over the phone before seeing it is guessing — and the guess is almost always low, because a low guess wins the job and the difference gets found later.

What the inspection findsThe largest factor by a wide margin, and the reason inspection comes first.
How many features are machinedHow many journals, bores, valves and seats. Work scales with count.
How much material comes offOne pass, or a shaft that needs straightening first.
The size of the componentA marine crankshaft is not a truck crankshaft. Handling, setup and machining time all scale.
Whether cracks are foundThey can change the job from machining to crack repair — or end it.
Which parts are neededShells, pistons, rings, liners, guides, seats, bushes. Parts often dominate an overhaul total.
Whether we assembleOr return machined components for your own fitters.
On site or in the workshopAnd what access the site allows.
And we will tell you when it is not worth doing.

A journal already at its last undersize, a head surfaced past the point where valve depth still works, a block cracked through a main web — those get an honest “replace it”, in writing, with the measurements that led to it. That advice costs us the occasional job and keeps the customer.

What you get back

The record is the product

The componentCleaned, oiled and protected for transport. A measurement recordBefore and after figures for every dimension we touched, and the size it was cut to. Crack test resultsStated by method. A written reportWhat was found, what was done, what was replaced. Test resultsBench figures, run report, or load test where it applies. A parts listWhat was renewed, and what was saved. Your old partsReturned on request — ask when you approve the job. Cover on the workTerms written on the quotation and repeated on the invoice. The ordering lineWhich bearing, piston or ring set the component now takes — the line that prevents an ordering mistake.
