  • Optimizing Diesel Engine Rebuilds

    If you are a power generator or operate in the highly demanding mining, quarrying, or offshore industries with large pumps or prime running gensets you need to get the most possible from a rebuild of your engines. It is all very well to use ‘original OEM spares’ and fastidious attention to detail from the workshop…

  • Upcycling Older Diesel Engines

    With the headlong rush into EV and battery technology it can be overlooked that mechanical upgrades and rebuilds to diesel or natural gas power plants that take advantage of racing, aerospace and lubricant technology is both sustainable and cost effective. Prime movers have become fantastically complicated with 7 fuel injections per second, extraordinary 4 stage…

  • How Conforming Piston Rings Help In Diesel Engines

    The forces involved in compression ignition of diesel fuel in a heavy-duty engine are very considerable and these gases attempt to migrate passed the pistons rings sending part-burnt fuel into the crankcase and sump. In addition to this headache – which can be greatly reduced with gapless rings in the 2nd grove – there is…
