Toyota Hilux 3Y MLS Head Gasket

November 14, 2012

If you can find an MLS head gasket for your engine from Cometic or other provider you should buy it from them, but if you cannot find what you are looking for please ask us for a quotation. We can make MLS gaskets in quantities of one or more. Modifications are no problem, and we can even vary bore sizes or thicknesses  in the same order at no extra charge.

This customer sent us a head gasket for a Toyota Hilux 3Y and asked that we use that to make an MLS head gasket 1.5mm thick, which you can see below.

A customer sent us a set of paper patterns he cut from some card stock, as you can see below.

1974 International Truck Carb Block and Gaskets

November 9, 2012

This customer contacted us because he needed insulated carb blocks and gaskets for his 1974 International Harvester truck and could not find them anywhere. He sent us images of the old part along with a scan backed by graph paper (see below). The blocks had to have metal inserts in the bolt holes, so we machined those and inserted them in the spacer material as shown.

2 stroke Saab Alloy Bearing Cages

November 3, 2012

I have been extremely remiss in not updating this blog for quite some time. Sheer laziness, and hopefully this post will be the first of many more.

On the left below is an image of a bearing cage we supplied for use in old Saabs. The work was done on a CNC machine, using the supplied cage on the right as a pattern. There was no drawing. The customer supplied a few of the roller bearings for measurement. The alloy is a very tough one, and it was interesting to learn that it was first developed by Japanese aircraft manufacturers doing WWII. We were able to locate that here, imported from a German manufacturer.
