Our Services

Crankshafts

Non destructive crack testing is carried out on crankshafts to detect flaws and cracks that are not usually visible to the naked eye. At Micro Motor Engineering these tests are done on a custom built machine which is capable of testing both large and long crankshafts with ease. This forms the basis of the crankshaft inspection process.

Our crankshaft inspection and grinding services use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure precision. We take in jobs—from cars, trucks and bikes to marine, industrial and plant crankshafts. Our highly skilled technicians use leading technology with attention to detail that's second to none.

Professional crankshaft polishing services to restore surface finish and ensure optimal performance. We stick to original OE specifications to ensure both quality and high standards.

Expert camshaft reprofiling services to restore cam profiles to manufacturer specifications, ensuring proper valve timing and engine performance.
