ENGINE BUILDING

A specialty at Nippon Performance is Engine building.

From single cylinder air cooled motors to Inline 4 cylinder water cooled leader bikes, at Nippon performance your engine is our profession.

With purpose built equipment we can offer you the best in rebuilding and performance work. Over the years we have re-built and improved many single cylinder 2 and 4 strokes, Japanese and European from the 50’s to present, Multi-cylinder engines from the 70’s to the present.

 

All engine rebuilds begin with a complete dismantle followed by chemical cleaning and assessment. This will enable us to determine the serviceable limits of each component and develop an accurate quote for the rebuild.

Engine tear down

Careful consideration is given to each component to ensure each engine goes back together perfectly.

Professional engine building for motorcycles not only includes the engine, but also the gear box and clutch. It is a complicated task with the average Single cylinder having hundreds of parts, the number is increased in proportion with each additional cylinder.
