Engine Crack Testing – FAQs


Engine crack testing is the process of inspecting your engine block and components for hidden cracks that could compromise performance or lead to failure. Many cracks are invisible to the naked eye, so specialised tools are required to detect them accurately.

Cracks can allow oil, coolant, or combustion gases to escape, leading to reduced efficiency, overheating, or catastrophic engine damage. Detecting them early helps determine whether parts can be repaired or need replacement.

We use state-of-the-art inspection tools, including dye penetrant and magnetic particle testing, to locate and assess cracks with precision.

It depends on the location, size, and severity of the crack. After inspection, we provide recommendations for repair or replacement to ensure engine safety and longevity.

Absolutely — high-performance and race engines are subjected to higher stresses, making crack testing essential to ensure reliability and prevent failure.
