we can develop it.
Tell us what you’re working on. Let’s discuss the part, the challenge and what’s possible.
Discuss your projectINSIDE THE BUILD / ENGINE ASSEMBLY
Precision before
the first start.
The work that matters happens before the engine runs. From bearing clearances to cam degreeing, HondaWorx brings careful measurement to engine assembly.
- 01
Measure the clearances.
Bearing checks and trial assembly establish how the components fit together.
- 02
Degree the cams.
A degree wheel and dial indicators reveal the valve events, duration, overlap and cam centrelines.
- 03
Check. Adjust. Assemble.
Valve-to-piston clearance checks guide the adjustments before the build comes together.
