For Automotive & Industrial Requirements

BB-86 Counterbore Unit


Recuts Diesel Sleeve Counterbores

Available as BB-86 Standard 170mm Unit or


BB-86 Giant with 198mm Inside Diameter !
To guarantee a perfect seal between engine block and wet liners, the counterbore seats in an engine
block must be refaced during engine overhaul and in case of leaks. This job is rapidly and simply carried out with the very accurate BB unit. Its centering is automatic and the unit is clamped by means of
an electro magnet. As the unit is placed directly on the sealing surface of an engine block, the refaced
counterbore seats will automatically be parallel with the sealing surface. The refacing procedures can
be carried out on installed as well as on removed engine blocks or even built-in underfloor engines.
