Honing Engine Blocks

Complete Engine Block Honing Solutions

Is your engine burning oil or lacking in performance? Do you need new piston rings for your reconditioned engine?

Honing the engine bores is a vital process of engine reconditioning. The engine block houses many important parts, including the piston rings, cylinder heads, and intake and exhaust passages.

Therefore, it’s vital each bore can handle compression stress, maintain correct oil flow, and reduce the production of harmful emissions.

ARA Engine provides professional engine block honing to improve engine performance, reduce tension stress, and increase the lifespan of your engine.

Professional Engine Block Honing Inspection, Repair & Reconditioning

From accurate cylinder wall finishing to advanced automated machining, we deliver engine block honing solutions designed to improve performance, reduce stress and support long-lasting engine operation.

Automated Honing Technology

ARA Engine uses the latest machinery to hone a range of engine blocks.

The Sunnen SV-10 Vertical Honing machine uses diamond stones to finish cylinder walls to the correct finish.

With a real-time display and touch screen control, we find inconsistencies where the bore is visually smaller. The variable independent spindle and crosshatch angle calculator allows us to produce crosshatches of any angle.

With just the right amount of surface roughness, the bore will allow for correct oil retention and lubrication.

Most importantly? You won’t blow any more blue smoke.
