Camshafts, Connecting Rods, Cylinder Blocks and Crankshafts

Coastal Plating specialist remanufacture connecting rods, cylinder blocks and industrial camshafts as well. We can also apply various coatings for corrosion and abrasion resistance on any rotating component in reciprocating engines.

Most popular crankshafts, camshafts, connecting rods and engine blocks are kept in stock for exchange. Many have already been processed and await immediate shipment. Others are in stock but simply await processing. When you order we can ship a rebuilt unit at once, or promptly rebuild one of our cores. Be sure to call and see if we can serve your needs immediately from our extensive stock.

IN RECONDITIONING CONNECTING RODS, CAMSHAFTS AND CYLINDER BLOCKS WE CLEAN AND INSPECT FOR CRACKS AND DEFECTS. NEXT WE STRAIGHTEN AND TREAT FOR STRESS BY SHOT PEENING. WE MILL SEPARATIONS OR GRIND PARTING FACES, THEN HONE OR BORE AS NEEDED. OLD BUSHINGS ARE REPLACED AND CONNECTING RODS ARE PIN-BORED TO PROPER DIAMETER WITH CORRECT CENTER-TO-CENTER DISTANCE. CAMSHAFTS ARE RESTORED TO ORIGINAL LIFT AND CONTOUR BY USING LOBE MASTERS AS TEMPLATES ON OUR GRINDERS. WE ALSO RE-BORE BLOCKS FOR PACKING RING AREAS, MAIN BEARING BORES TO FACTORY STANDARDS, AND ALIGN BORES WITH REPAIRS TO
