Engine Block Repair | Onsite Machining | Crack Repair
Serving the diesel power plants and shipping companies for the last four decades, we observed that in spite of the best maintenance protocols and process followed, accidents do take place. We have the history of repairing seriously damaged engine blocks.
Recently in case of Wartsila Engine Both sides of the engine block got damaged measuring about 600 mm * 500 mm . Even the main journal housings got damaged due to accident. The engine was installed on a barge having 6 units of wartsila 12V32 engines.
Following job was done pertaining to engine block repair:-
- The complete engine block was subjected to crack detection by MPI test by level 3 qualified technicians.
- Main journal housings of engine block were dimensionally checked for taper and ovality was recorded.
- The damage to engine block was so serious that we have no option but to cut off the damaged portion of the engine block.
- The new casting piece was manufactured with the similar profile of damaged block of wartsila 12V32 and was given original profile by onsite machining. The piece was assembled by metal stitching and metal locking process.
- All the main journal housings were corrected by onsite machining, maintaining the main journal housing bore size strictly as per the engine manufacturer’s limits.
The above engine block repair saved client considerable amount and reduced downtime.
