With today's  automotive market, it is difficult to find an automotive machine shop that has both the equipment and personel to perform at a high level. Chuck's caters to customer's wanting more than "the usual". Machining engine parts for customers wanting quality work, or building one of our own premium  custom  built engines,  Chuck's is suited for  the job. From hot rod and race engines to building high quality  RV  engines. Customers  have  traveled  from many states to have their engine custom built by Chuck's .

"The Engine"

 Custom engines for RVs and automobiles are kept to very high tolerances. Each engine is disassembled, cleaned and inspected. Cylinder heads  have new  guides  installed and  hand  honed  for clearance. They are checked with a bore gauge and  will stay within .0002" on clearance specifications.  Hardened  exhaust   seats are installed to allow for long life with today's fuels. Seats are machined with a radius cutter allowing for maximum flow. The heads are trued and assembled  with spring pressures set to precise specifications. The block is align honed and decked with a fixture  to keep the deck surfaces perpendicular to one another. The piston to deck clearance is very close to zero thousandths keeping combustion travel more efficient by getting more burn in the combustion chamber of the head. The cylinders   are bored and honed with torque plates to simulate heads bolted on to block during process. Connecting Rods are reconditioned and the engine assembly is balanced. The same procedure performed to balance race engines!  Then the assembly begins.
