Cylinder Reboring Explained
Cylinder reboring involves enlarging the diameter of an engine's cylinder bore, after its walls have become worn or damaged beyond repair. It sees our experienced technicians remove a small amount of metal from said walls to create a larger bore that can accommodate oversized pistons, chosen in line with relevant manufacturer guidelines and specifications.
This means an important pre-requisite for the service is sourcing the right oversized pistons for your particular vehicle; if not immediately at hand, we can order them in from trusted local suppliers around Sutton, Croydon, Epsom, Kingston, Streatham and Wimbledon.
