Check out this behind-the-scenes video! Dave Wheatley is a well-known motor racing engineer, who can turn his hand to just about anything!

In this video, we see Dave line boring a VW Beetle engine casing. The part of the casing of a Vee engine which houses the crankshaft becomes worn over a few seasons, and needs to be either repaired or the whole casing needs to be replaced, which would be a very expensive operation. If you didn’t repair or replace the casing, the oil pressure would fall off to an unacceptable level and the engine would be seriously damaged as a result.

Dave is one of the only people on the island of Ireland that is repairing casings! It is a fine example of engineering skill, having made up a special cutting tool and a special jig to hold the engine casing on a centre lathe, in order to line bore the casing. He certainly is the man to contact if you need work done on your engine casing 🤩
