Our work on cool engines, both classic and high performance.
This motor came to us a couple of years ago and the customer, who is from Alaska, wanted to rebuild just the lower-end. After completing the lower-end, the customer took it home and installed the heads. Several years later, after completing the motor, he called to request that we do a motor start-up on our motor run stand. He was happy that it went well.
This motor is a 1980 Shovelhead that came to us in poor shape. We completely rebuilt the motor and transmission and reinstalled it back in the bike after pre-running the motor on our motor run stand. We also converted it from rear belt back to chain drive.
This motor is going into a custom chopper. It came to us after the motor burned up. The pistons were seized in the cylinders. We ordered brand new S&S 107 ci cylinders and pistons. We balanced and blueprinted the motor and it will be reinstalled back in the bike.
This motor has been completely restored to original military spec. All colors, plaiting and painted parts are correct.
This is a motor that we completely rebuilt, balances and blueprinted. All finishes are correct for 1941.
Here is the new motor start-up for Rick’s Panhead. It was a complete engine rebuild.
This 1940 Flathead UL motor used to belong to a good friend of ours, Robert Dail. He purchased it in 1970. We originally re-built the engine in 1971. It changed hands a few times and we were able to buy it back and are now rebuilding it again 40+ years later. Here are some photos of the finished motor and a video of the initial start-up on our run-stand.
This was the initial engine start-up for Scott’s Panhead. We have already rebuilt the transmission. The original rigid frame has been “old-school” molded with all the original tabs on it and painted bright orange. This will be a complete old-school chopper build in the end. We will continue to post updates. Stay tuned. But for now, enjoy the run video.
Ron’s 1936 VLH Steve McQueen bike is finally complete. It came to us needing engine, transmission, and chassis work. After rebuilding the engine, we ran it on our run-stand as you can see in previous posts here and here. Now it is all together and running down the road. We are putting a few miles on it before Ron picks it up. We think he will be pleased with the results.
We are continuing to work on Ron’s 1936 VLH and we now have the engine completed. The pictures and video below are from the first new engine start-up on our engine stand.
The carburetor has been nickel-plated and reassembled as per original.
