This goes out to all the young engine fans in Goondiwindi area.
We are looking for a Junior to join our team in the engine shop.
Duties will include stuff to make our jobs easier, like buffing stuff, cleaning stuff with the right dude (or dudette) having the opportunity to move into machine work once we know you won't kill yourself (the machines or us, more importantly). A few hours a week, after school days and possibly a little more.
This opportunity may lead to an apprenticeship. If you're interested in something different in the automotive pathway, and are in Yrs 10, 11 or 12, stop into the shop and ask for William.

Introducing our newest addition to our services: Balancing.
Powered by a Turner Technology Balancer, we have set this machine up on our old Surface Grinder (RIP due to wasps nesting in the windings).
Who should have their engines balanced?
Most engines coming from production factories have some level of balancing. This is OK for a stock driver, but once you start to put extra load with new components, it should be done.
Doing a stroker? Balance it.
Doing a street crusher? Balance it.
Putting together a hot LS? Balance it.

A perfect example of what poor air filtration does to an inlet valve.
Guides are normally in a poor state as well.
