🏎️ Ferrari 288 GTO cylinder heads… back to perfection. 🇮🇹

After refacing these incredibly rare cylinder heads, we re-machined the squish bands to restore the correct combustion chamber geometry. ⚙️

Another classic in the workshop 🔧

This Ferrari 246 Dino cylinder block came to us for a full refresh. We started with a caustic dip to completely strip it back, then carried out precision boring, honing, and decking.

A key part of the job was addressing the loose main caps — we carefully corrected the main bore to restore perfect alignment and ensure long-term reliability.

It’s all about precision and care when working on engines of this calibre.

Lotus Twin Cam engine 🔧

A rebuild from last year — this Lotus Twin Cam was machined to perfection in-house and lightly upgraded to a fast road specification.

The brief was simple: retain the character and feel of a standard engine, but deliver performance that wouldn’t feel underwhelming compared to a modern daily driver. Careful machining and subtle upgrades allowed us to strike that balance perfectly.

A great example of how the right approach can bring classic engines up to modern expectations, without losing what makes them special.
