Decades of experience passed on one job at a time!

Pictured: Our apprentice Tyler working alongside Chris, who has been part of Kerry Lindsay Engine Reconditioners since the business first opened the doors back in 1982.

Here they are assembling an old Land Rover engine block — a great example of the hands-on knowledge and skills that are passed from one generation of engine reconditioners to the next.

More than 40 years of experience on one side of the bench, and the next generation learning the trade on the other!

Another performance engine making its way through the workshop! 🔥

This Ford Performance Cleveland block has been precision machined for stainless steel O-rings, while these impressive CHI cylinder heads have received receiver grooves and chamber softening.

When combined with copper head gaskets, the stainless O-rings provide a much stronger head gasket seal under extreme cylinder pressures, while the softened chambers help improve combustion characteristics and allow for more effective tuning.

We're looking forward to seeing what Hartley Racing can achieve with this combination. Hopefully it's the recipe for a new personal best! 🏁

If you're building a high-performance engine and need precision machining, get in touch with the team at Kerry Lindsay Engine Reconditioners.

At KLER, precision isn't just a buzzword—it's part of every engine we build.

This video shows two of our team members using liquid nitrogen to shrink valve seat inserts before fitting them into a cylinder head. With such a high interference fit, cooling the inserts allows for accurate installation while ensuring a secure fit once they return to normal temperature.

It's specialised processes like these that help deliver reliable, long-lasting results for our customers.

⭐ Customer Feedback ⭐

We really appreciate hearing from our customers and this one made our day.

“Wow—the KLER crew come second-to-nobody when it comes to professionalism, courtesy, and service. From office staff to the shopfloor, KLER's manner and attitude is inspiring. After meeting with Jordan for the first time, I knew my vehicle was in the right place for the repair. Jordan kept me informed throughout the whole process, whether it be securing parts or the projected timeline. Fantastic!” Marc

A huge thank you for the kind words and for trusting us with your vehicle. Feedback like this means a lot to our team and the effort they put in every day.
