| When an engine comes in, it is taken apart
and the various components must be cleaned
to remove any oil and rust. We have four different machines to do this cleaning. Shown here is Darren using the AXE Jet Washer. Darren has worked for Jack since 1997 |

The crankshaft is the heart of the rotating assembly.
Over time it becomes elongated. Shown here Jack is using the Winona VanNorman CG840 crankshaft grinder to bring the connecting surfaces true round Jack has owned and operated this business for over 25 years |

After grinding, the crankshaft must then be polished to a very smooth surface to reduce friction |
 |
As with anything rotating at a high RPM, the crankshat
should be balanced. Shown here Zac is using our Winona VanNorman Computer Engine Balancer. This computer tells exactly where weight must be added or subtracted to keep the crankshaft from wobbling. |
