Take a tour of the Wes Engines workshop.
DYNO TUNING
Our Land & Sea computerised dynomometer is capable of 1,000 ft-lbs of
torque, 900hp and up to 10,000rpm.
We use tuning aids such as... |
 |
- lamda
- egt sensors
- air flow metre.
|
|
LASER VALVE TRAIN TESTING
Our Spintek has the ability to test up to 11,000rpm
The laser valve tracking makes it possible to measure the following at any rpm:
|
 |
- Valve float
- Valve bounce
- Valve train deflection
- Valve train component comparisons.
|
FLOW TESTING
Air flow development is a critical part of
our engine program. The Superflow 600 with Flow Com linked to Performance Trends Port Flow Analyzer,
gives us the ability to overlay test after test. We can also test port velocity and report on exhaust
to inlet flow percentage. |
 |
|
LINE BORING
The Berco BC5A line borer has the capacity to line bore blocks up to 2600mm long and 850mm high.
The Berco BC5A provides
exceptional accuracy for machining of
|
 |
- main tunnels
- cam tunnels (needle roller
conversions)
- thrust faces
- seal areas
|
CRANK GRINDING
Our crank grinder is a late model Schou
hydraulic machine with a Marposs measuring system, which allows us to grind to exact tolerances.
Stroking and de-stroking can both be carried out on this machine. Capacity 1500 x 260 |
 |
SURFACE GRINDING -
MILLING
The Berco STC 361 utilises CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) and PCD (Poly Crystaline
Diamond) tooling, with consistent hydraulic feed. Surface finishes down to 40-50 ra are easily
achieved, which are required for MLS (Multi Layer Steel) Gaskets. |
 |
VALVE SEATING
The Serdi 1.1 achieves excellent levels of concentricity utilising the triple
workhead flotation system even in guide sizes as small as 0.118"/3mm. Multi angle and
radius set cuts are carried out on this machine. |
 |
|
BALANCING
With the Sunnen
DCB 750 digital balancer we can balance down to a 0 gram tolerance.
Machine capacity os 228kg, 381 diameter and 2160 length
|
 |
|
BORING
With the Berco ACP155 boring machine
we can
|
 |
- Bore cylinders
- Fit sleeves
- Machine sleeve recesses for flanged sleeves (eg Darton sleeves)
- O-ringing blocks
|
ASSEMBLY ROOM
Once machining processes are finished and components are washed, the engines are
assembled in our dust free air-conditioned assembly room. |
