HOT ROD COMPANY

We are now offering more services than ever before thanks to our new top of the line machines. Specifically designed to be the most technically advanced industry-specific systems ever. More than just a single machine, these new “Engine Machining” CNC Vertical Machining Centers are designed to give customers even more flexibility for engine parts machining, digitizing and porting, and custom parts manufacturing. Here at Hot Rod Company we have always gone above and beyond the industry standards and this year is no different.  We have purchased several top of line machines to make our engines better that ever! 

taking machining to the next level

What Does CNC Porting Do?

 

 

 

Unlock more horsepower with precision CNC machining! Our laser-guided technology optimizes intake and exhaust ports, improving airflow for maximum power or better fuel efficiency.

 

CNC porting reshapes ports to increase airflow, boosting horsepower, throttle response, and efficiency. Whether for racing or performance upgrades, it helps unleash your engine’s full potential.

Rottler VR 12 Valve Refacing Machine

The VR12 sets new standards for Performance Racing and Remanufacturing work.Designed to grind a set of valves to equal length from Stem/Butt end to Valve Seat without adjusting settings. The Centerless Technology eliminates collets and chucks. Valve face is machined concentric to the valve stem for improved sealing, better heat transfer and reduced mechanical stresses on valves. Our Rottler’s Centerless Grinding System rotates the valve stem on it’s own centerline. Precision drive rollers rotate the valve stem and a pneumatic low friction steady rest support the valve stem similar to a precision balancing machine, resulting in extremely accurate valve stem to valve seat run out less than .0002″ (.005mm) TIR. The Rottler Centerless System allows a wide range of valve stem diameters to be ground without changing any collets or chucks.

Why Have Your Valves Refaced?

Over time, valves need to be either refaced or replaced because they have to withstand high rpm and temperatures. Valve faces become worn and eroded due to heat or as the seats wear down,  the stems wear down where they contact the guides, and the tips may become worn or squished due to the friction of the rocker arms or cam followers. 

Refacing valves is a cheaper option than having to replace your valves with new ones. This is an ideal service for classic and vintage engines where valves are harder to find.

 

If tearing down your engine, look for clues that indicate it’s time to replace the valves, These include: loss of valve lash (due to valve stretch) or chatter and damage marks in the keeper grooves.
