Services We Provide
We offer a wide range of services to our customers. We are happy to provide diagnostics on engines either installed in the vehicle or as a short / long engine. We make use of an engine test cell (Schenck dynamometer) to bench test engines and plot their output via a data collection system. This allows us to diagnose faults which may be very difficult to assess by external inspection. We also strip and meticulously clean engines supplied to us for assessment. These engines are carefully checked for any irregularity and the customer then informed of our findings and recommendations. We are currently installing a rolling road dynamometer as well, this will give us the ability to test an engine whilst fitted in a vehicle as well as tune the engine for optimum output. Many customers wish there engine to be fitted to the vehicle and we are happy to accommodate.
