Line Boring
Line boring is another primary function of
Reynolds-French Machine Division’s specialty services. This expertise, combined
with labor and state of the art equipment, is often taken direct to the plant
site or utilized in R-F’s Tulsa facility. It’s a considerable savings advantage
to the customer that results in prevention of damage to or replacement of main
frame, crankshaft and main bearings.
Most engine frames can be machined, caps sized and fit,
and line bored to standard dimensions. This saves the cost of stocking oversized
bearings. Advising a customer that an engine frame can be aligned, and that line
boring will not be required, is an economic factor that will result in
substantial savings.
Line boring and alignment are two critical service
functions of Reynolds-French that go hand in hand. For example, most engines
that need to be line bored are in need of alignment, first.
As equipment expenditures continue to rise with no
relief in sight, engines suspected of line boring needs belong in the hands of
experienced and proven line bore and alignment specialists. With Reynolds-French,
customers can be confident of trusting their equipment to such a
company.
