SERVICE

GET YOUR CYLINDER IN TOP SHAPE!

Athena supports you in restoring and repairing aluminum endothermic cylinders with nickel silicon facing.

Athena can intervene on worn aluminum cylinders, eliminating the surface facing and reapplying a new Motor Nicksil facing, with final diamond lapping.
 

To carry out these processes, Athena uses the same machinery and technologies employed to produce its cylinders, which are then destined both for its Aftermarket offer and for the manufacturers of some of the best-known brands in the sector.

Depending on the conditions, wear, and seizure, our specialized staff can intervene with different services to restore your cylinder. Read on to learn more!

THE MOST COMPLETE INTERVENTION

RESTORATION OF THE BARREL FACING

This is the intervention our customers choose most often: we remove the worn, damaged or detached layer on the barrel, and then reapply a new one via Nikasil coating.

The composition of the blend used by Athena is unique and it is the result of years of experience in the sector.

The deposition process is constantly monitored by qualified personnel from our chemical laboratory, with the aim of obtaining high surface hardness and suitable wear resistance to guarantee excellent performance, durability and reliability of the engines.

Find out how we completely reapply the Nickel-Silicon alloy surface facing right now! 

ATTENTION: Athena cannot restore cylinders with original chrome facing.

EXHAUST BRIDGE MACHINING

On 2-stroke engines, machining is carried out on the exhaust bridge in the exhaust port to allow perfect alignment with the internal barrel. The exhaust bridge is carefully lightened by a few hundredths to ensure maximum efficiency and interaction between the piston, rings and cylinder barrel. This processing phase makes it possible to increase the reliability, performance and durability of the piston over time.

CYLINDER HEAD SUPPORT RESURFACE

The cylinder deck may present irregularities or not have the correct roughness due to overheating, detonation, or damage during the engine overhaul. This can lead to damage to the cylinder-head gasket and the potential negative effects that can result. The flatness of the cylinder deck and of the o’ring grooves is therefore restored, ensuring a better seal and engine efficiency.

INTERNAL WELDING

The welds, carried out in our production departments, make it possible to recover cylinders that have been seriously damaged. However, in situations such as heavy seizures when the cylinder is structurally compromised, our technicians evaluate the effective possibilities of reparation. If the chances of recovery are very low, the process would not be done.

ANTI-KNOCK RING

We use numerical control machines to make a slot on the cylinder, which allows the application of a bronze ring by interference.
This intervention has the purpose of considerably reducing the risks linked to self-ignition or knock, which can erode the cylinder head surface and consequently compromise the seal of the gaskets and the relative efficiency of the engine.

SMOOTH FINISH OF THE CYLINDER

This is one of the final phases of the complete restoration process, and it is sufficient for cases of light seizures in which the facing has not been affected. The perfect roundness of the barrel is restored and surface roughness is reduced to a minimum, with tolerances of 0.005 mm or customized parameters for the customer (e.g. +0.01 mm).
The execution of the “cross hatch" will create micro-scratches on the surface of the barrel which retain the oil and guarantee ideal lubrication.

BARREL BORING – OVERBORE

The increase in the internal diameter of the cylinder leads to the consequent increase in the displacement. The machining is carried out according to the customer's instructions, once the possibility of boring the cylinder has been evaluated considering the residual structural rigidity.
For 2-stroke cylinders, the internal openings are also reprocessed with a correct angle and possible recovery and lowering of the exhaust bridge.
