Engine Balancing | Harmonic Balancing

Another process to consider when re conditioning an engine is once all the engineering work is completed have the engine components ‘harmonically balanced’, which I always recommend. This process includes the crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, flywheel, new clutch assembly and front harmonic damper and v-belt pulley etc. Ask the guys at BMW Power and Engineering how they can help you and who they use for this, they do a lot of racing applications, have been around for a long time and are well known to the industry. If you really want something special, order a stroker motor, they are lighter, stronger and make more torque. The best bet would be to order a billet crank and rods made in America. Visit www.bmwpower.co.za for expert advice on motor engineering.

Reconditioning crankshafts can be made ‘as good as new’ and even better than new, if specific consideration is made to the above details. It may be quite costly to do it right, but then you don’t have to do it again as the bottom end of an engine must last a long way. Cylinder heads are enough of a problem to remove and refit, so don’t skimp on the sub assembly, it will bring tears to your eyes if the removal process is to be a ‘no way out option’ because you have a R00-95 rear main crankshaft seal leaking through the gearbox bell housing? Muster every possibility and be sure to keep the bases all covered. Most importantly, check, check and check again!

Kia Scrap Yards | Kia Spares

KIA scrap yards have become a well organized source of used vehicle stock for the latest car and light commercial brands for all models. The scrapyards are the places where you will find these Kia used parts for your car, van or bakkie at the best prices available. Kia scrap yard dealers are the suppliers of these used parts who buy out Kia vehicles as salvage scrap units from auctioneers and other sources of the supply chain.

Most scrap yards have ongoing contracts with insurance companies who via the panelbeaters and insurance assessors, write the badly damaged cars off and it’s these vehicles that are considered unfit for road usage that end up at your local scrap yard dealer wher the salvaged vehicles are stripped of their good parts and sold at a profit.

You are sure to find the parts suppliers who deal in accident damaged Kia’s that will give you a great deal when buying spare parts from them. The bottom line is to have a reasonable background knowledge of cars and the mechanics that go with it, and most importantly, “know exactly what it is that you intend buying”. It’s up to you to make a decision whether the parts are correct or not.

Always check that the parts you are looking for are compatible with your car and that they appear to be in good working order. You need to have a really good look at the part you are buying. Don’t always rely on what the salesman is telling you, as he may also not know all the right answers. There is a lot to learn about the spares business and if you’re unsure take a friend with you who has a fair mechanical background.

If you have made the decision to buy new Kia spares for your vehicle then it is advisable to go to the Kia dealership closest to you where you can get the OEM or original equipment manufacturers part.

Aftermarket spares such as an engine parts and suspension parts, drive trains spares such as CV joints and prop shafts, brake pads discs can safely be purchased at the aftermarket spares dealers who are usually open 7 days a week and offer good value for money.

Used auto parts purchased from a scrap yard dealer often supply the OEM part that’s in perfect working order, offering you with excellent value and many miles of trouble free motoring.

Pirate spares are the imitation of the OEM part, (original equipment manufacturers part).  These parts are sometimes difficult to come by when it comes to sourcing 4x4 aftermarket spares, but the scrap yards should have the used Land Rover parts in stock that come as, “good value for money”, as they sell these parts at about half the price of the new OEM parts.

Always check on the VIN, engine and gearbox codes and part numbers to be certain before handing over your hard earned cash. Photographs are a good source of information to make reference when inspecting parts as they are always stored on your phone or ipad.
