This video represents the amazing process of machining an engine block out of one sold piece of aluminum, the V8 Engine Block is Machined on a Matsuura 5 axis MAM72-63V CNC state of the art Machine Tool. CNC is an acronym for ”computer numerically controlled”.

This means that once a lathe specialist programs the computer of the lathe, he can walk away, all facets of the operation are now under the machines control. Eliminating human error and making parts faster with more accuracy and strength.

Believe it or not, this is still a few machining steps from finished. It’s hard to argue the beauty of a piece of shiny machined aluminum. This is what a fully machined solid aluminum engine block looks like. Yesterday we touched on sand cast aluminum blocks and their virtues. Which is the method used since a cast block cost much less to produce than a solid aluminum engine block.

The process below is probably for an expensive specialty car like a Ferarri, Mercedes, Porsche, you get the point. The process of sand casting aluminum blocks which we covered in a post yesterday is more popular since the cost of manufacturing is lower.

Enjoy, it is very radical:

Information is power, which is one reason we try to put so much information on car and truck engines in particular. Some people come here just for the information on how to fix an engine or how to choose the best replacement engine for their needs. Educated customers make better decisions and are more enjoyable to deal with.

Hopefully we will capture your engine business if that is why you are here. You can see we work harder than anyone else to provide a product and experience that has been keeping our customers coming back and sending their friends.
