What is Cylinder Boring?

Cylinder boring is the process of enlarging the diameter of a cylinder to accommodate a larger piston. This service is typically necessary when the cylinder is worn beyond standard limits or when performance enhancements are desired. By boring the cylinder, we can provide you with increased horsepower and improved efficiency, ensuring your engine runs at its best. Our team is also here to help you select the right oversized piston that fits your performance needs, ensuring a perfect match for your engine.

If you prefer to keep your cylinder at standard size but it needs to be bored due to severe wear, we can insert a cylinder sleeve. This solution allows you to maintain the standard bore while accommodating a severely worn piston, giving you the best of both worlds.

What is Cylinder Honing?

Cylinder honing is a technique used to create a finer finish on the cylinder walls. Unlike boring, honing involves a more subtle adjustment, primarily to improve surface texture and enhance oil retention. This process is ideal for maintaining the original cylinder when wear is minimal, allowing for better performance without compromising the cylinder’s integrity.
