Our machine shop
Meksta har en komplett maskinpark för motorrenovering och motorbearbetning. I huvudsak under ett tak, vilket innebär att vi sällan behöver skicka iväg dina delar - kortare ledtider och full kontroll i varje steg.
Under one roof
Many workshops send work out to subcontractors. At Meksta all the equipment is in-house - from cylinder boring and crankshaft reconditioning to cam grinding, cylinder head resurfacing and welding. That gives us full control over quality and a shorter time from start to delivery.
Cylinder boring machine - Berco ACP 151
Bores cylinders with high precision. The Berco ACP 151 handles cylinder blocks from passenger cars to heavy engines. The cylinders are bored to an exact oversize with controlled tolerances. The machine is central to our cylinder boring.
- Block sizes up to V8 and diesel
- Tolerance within hundredths of a millimetre
- Automatic feed
Honing machine - Sunnen CK10
Hones motorcycle and moped cylinders to final size and the right surface finish after boring. It creates the cross-hatch surface needed for a proper oil film and piston ring bedding-in. Honing is the final step in our cylinder boring process.
- Motorcycle and moped cylinders
- Controlled surface finish
- Multi-stage honing process
Camshaft grinder
Grinds and reprofiles camshafts. We can recondition worn camshafts back to original specification or create entirely new lobe profiles for a changed engine character. Read more about our cam grinding.
- Regrinding and reprofiling
- Micron precision on every lobe
- Bearing journal machining
CNC lathe
A programmed lathe for manufacturing and machining engine components. Used for custom parts, bushings, spacers and other precision components.
- Programmed machining
- High repeatability
- Custom-made parts
Schenck balancing machine
A German balancing machine that measures the imbalance of the crankshaft in two planes at once. We remove or add material until the shaft rotates evenly, which means less vibration and a longer life for bearings and seals. The machine is used for our crankshaft balancing.
- Dynamic balancing in two planes
- Crankshafts from 4-cylinder to V8
- Accurate and repeatable results
Surfacing machine
Surfaces cylinder heads and cylinder blocks to restore flatness. A warped gasket face leads to gasket leaks. We machine to factory specification. The machine is used for cylinder head resurfacing and as part of our cylinder head reconditioning.
- Flatness checked with a dial gauge
- Aluminium and cast iron
- Cylinder heads and blocks
Mira cutter - valve seat machining
Cuts valve seats to an exact angle and concentricity. The right seat geometry gives better sealing, better flow and more even compression between cylinders. One of the most important steps in a cylinder head reconditioning.
- Multi-angle machining
- Perfect concentricity
- Improved flow and sealing
Valve grinding machine
Grinds valve faces and valve stems to give an even seating surface. Ground valves give good sealing and even compression. Part of our cylinder head reconditioning.
- Face and stem grinding
- Controlled surface finish
- All valve sizes
Pressure testing machine
Checks cylinder heads and blocks for cracks by pressure testing. The part is put under pressure in hot water - air bubbles reveal cracks that aren't visible to the naked eye. Read more about pressure testing.
- Finds hidden cracks
- Check before reconditioning begins
- Cylinder heads and blocks
Hydraulic press
Used for fitting and removing bearings, bushings, cylinder liners and other press-fit components. Controlled force without damaging surrounding parts.
- Controlled force
- Bearing and bushing replacement
- Cylinder liner replacement
TIG welder
TIG welding for repairing aluminium cylinder heads, exhaust manifolds and other engine components. TIG gives a clean, controlled weld with no spatter - crucial for cylinder head reconditioning and other machined parts.
- Aluminium and steel
- Cylinder head crack repair
- Manifold repair
Parts washer
Cleans cylinder heads, blocks and other engine parts of oil, soot and old grease before they are measured and machined further. A necessary step before pressure testing, resurfacing and other checks where clean surfaces are required.
- Cleans cylinder heads, blocks and engine parts
- Removes oil, soot and old grease
- Complemented with water polishing and sandblasting of parts
Turbo Technics VSFR - turbo balancing and flow testing
VSR balancing of the turbo's rotor at real operating speed. The axial clearance is measured against max 0.05 mm and the radial clearance against max 1.00 mm. Flow test and actuator setting to original spec take place before delivery. The machine is used for all our turbo reconditioning. You can also send in your turbo via Turbo.se.
- Balancing at real operating speed
- Axial clearance max 0.05 mm, radial clearance max 1.00 mm
- Flow test before delivery
- Actuator setting to original spec
Flow bench - turbo flow testing
Here, every reconditioned turbo is test run before delivery. The flow is measured and compared against the original spec, and the actuator or VNT mechanism is adjusted until the values are correct.
- Flow test to original spec
- Test run before delivery
- Actuator and VNT setting
TurboControl - calibration of electronic actuators
TurboControl tests, calibrates and programs electronic wastegate actuators, the vast majority of those on the market.
- Testing and calibration of actuators
- Programming of electronic wastegate actuators
- Covers the vast majority of actuators on the market
CNC mill HSM 700
The HSM 700 modifies turbo housings and manufactures special parts that cannot be bought off the shelf. The mill is used for turbo upgrade and custom builds, where standard parts rarely do the job.
- Modification of turbo housings
- Custom-made parts that cannot be bought
- High-precision machining of turbo housings
Why an in-house machine shop matters
Shorter turnaround
No waiting on subcontractors. We machine your parts directly in our workshop.
Full control
We mostly never wait on an outside machine shop or outside honing - the work happens on site.
Better price
No markups from subcontractors. You pay for the work - not for the middleman.
