Robins Cylinder boring machines are essential tools in engine rebuilding, specifically tasked with reconditioning the engine block. Their primary function is to precisely enlarge the cylinders to accommodate slightly oversized pistons. This becomes necessary due to wear and tear on the cylinder walls over time. These machines play a key role in engine rebuilding, allowing for the restoration of optimal engine performance and extending the life of the engine.
Restoring Cylinder Geometry:
- Worn engine cylinders can become out-of-round or develop imperfections. Boring removes a small amount of material to create a perfectly round and smooth cylinder bore.
- Accommodating Oversized Pistons:
- After boring, the cylinder diameter is slightly larger. This allows for the installation of pistons with a slightly larger diameter to compensate for wear on the original pistons and rings.
