Full testing of rebuilt and repaired components is performed here on a regular basis, engines are dynamometer tested, and bench testing is done on hydraulic components, transmissions and torque converters.

In this function, lite honing is performed, oversizing up to .060" is performed for salvaging, honing could be performed to 18" diameter and up to 12' feet in length. Barrel Cleaning to prevent contamination and high pressure testing is done to assure quality control. Another valuable service provided is selective plating.

Line boring, which restores the bores of the components that have been worn with use, is a daily and common procedure that our welders have mastered. This service can be performed in the shop or on site . We have the capability to linebore from 1 ½" to 14" size holes. Our field welders have worked in many harsh and difficult environments.

The Fluid Analysis Lab, located on premises of the Miami Service Department has the ability to perform wear element analysis, particle count and infrared analysis. By being able to analyze the different types of metals within the oil sampling, it is possible to determine if a problem is imminent. This lab also performs water and glycol detection and testing for fuel dilution. Results are available within 24 hours with an evaluation and recommendation.
