BLOCK

Here at Trident Manufacturing we offer a variety of services for most petrol and diesel combustion engines. We have over 100 years combined experience in our workshop and have both new age and old school machinery to tackle everything that comes through our door. Below is a selection of our most popular Engine Block services.

ENGINE BLOCK MEASURING AND HONING

We offer a professional block measuring and honing service. The first step in the procedure is to measure the bore and inspect it for imperfections. If the block passes this inspection then it will move to the honing area and the honing machine will do its thing.

We charge €60+ vat for honing on 4 cylinder engines and €70+ vat for honing on a 6 cylinder engine.


ENGINE BLOCK BORING AND HONING

If your block did not pass the test procedure above then this is where it ends up. If the block has gone beyond the manufacturers specifications then the bore of the block will need to be oversized. This means that we re bore the cylinder liner to then accept a larger piston and ring kit. After the boring procedure is complete we then hone the bore to give it the perfect surface for the piston rings to ' bed in 'on and we also deck the top of the block to make sure it has a super smooth surface to mate up to the head.

We charge €220+ vat for a 4 cylinder block for boring , honing and decking.

We charge €330+ vat for a 6 cylinder block for boring , honing and decking.

We can also supply oversized piston and ring kits for most models.

ENGINE BLOCK DECKING

If you have an engine which has badly overheated previously or you are buying an engine block which you have no history on then it is a very good idea to get the engine block decked. This is slightly skimming the area at the top of the bores to make it flat and smooth for refitting of the cylinder head.

We charge €60+ vat for 4 cylinder blocks and €65+ vat for 6 cylinder blocks.


ENGINE BLOCK LINER FITTING

This is a very specialist service that we offer for most engines. We supply and install a liner for €180 .
