Inspection at its highest standard ⚙️

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), including Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI), is an important part of aircraft component inspection — helping identify surface-breaking defects that may not be visible to the naked eye.

During precision reaming, the bore is carefully machined to achieve the required internal diameter and finish, ensuring the valve can move smoothly without excessive clearance ⚙️

Too much clearance can contribute to increased oil consumption and wear, while insufficient clearance can restrict valve movement — making accuracy critical.

It may look like a small part of an engine overhaul, but processes like this are fundamental to achieving the precision and reliability expected from an aircraft engine!
