Workshop Reconditioning and Repairs
Workshop reconditioning and overhaul of critical engine related components is a Pillar specialty, With facilities in Jeddah, we are ready to respond and to provide our customers an immediate solution to their problems.
Advanced machinery in capable hands provides a predictably excellent result. Pillar has been providing machine shop reconditioning for large bore engine components for 8 decades. Jobs ranging in size from overhauling engine components to fine tuning governors or casting white metal bearings are all taken care of with the same focused dedication. While our machine shops are specialized to deal with engine components, we can support a wide range of one off, large and small, machining and manufacturing jobs.
Connecting Rod Reconditioning
Big end connecting rod bores need to be checked at every major overhaul interval. After 1,000s of running hours, 4-stroke connecting rods often develop ovality in the large end bore resulting in a lengthening along the vertical axis and a narrowing along the horizontal. If this deformation is not addressed and new bearings are installed the results can be catastrophic and result in extensive crankshaft damage or even worse.
Pillar reconditions hundreds of 4-stroke connecting rods each year by removing material from the mating surfaces and boring the big end back to OEM specification giving the expensive component another lifecycle in the engine.
Cylinder Head Overhaul & Reconditioning
Pillar is a true and trusted specialist. With diesel workshop outfitted specifically to support the workflow associated with overhauling cylinder heads, quality and control are maintained from receipt to delivery.
Whether cylinder heads have mild wear or have experienced extensive wear due to cavitation and corrosion, Pillar can fully overhaul (inclusive of oversize seats) and return your heads fully pressure tested and ready for installation in your engine.
