Tools & Tooling
Many specialty tools, fixtures and
tooling are required to properly overhaul a Merlin engine. We have a
complete tool crib of original Rolls Royce and Packard tooling
designed specifically for the Merlin.
A few of these tools include;
- Extensive selection of specialized
reams, cutters and taps to install new valve seats
- alignment fixture to ream new valve
guide tapered bores in cylinder head
- complete valve and valve seat
grinding and lapping equipment
- rocker arm pad grinding fixture and
inspection jig
- nose case bearing press
- oil pump drive bushing installation
and align reaming fixture
and many others.
As the service time accumulates on
these engines there is an increasing need for installing new
oversize bolts and studs on various sub-assemblies. We not only have the
oversize studs and bolts in stock, we also have the alignment fixtures,
reams
and taps for locating and installing the oversize fastener.
A few of these sets include;
- Reaming fixture and reams to install
new nose casting on main case with oversize bolts
- Reaming fixture and tapered reams to
install new prop reduction gear on prop shaft with oversize bolts
- Reaming fixtures and reams to
install new oversize shoulder bolts in the connecting rods

These, and numerous other pieces of
specialized tooling and component parts are on hand to build your
engine the only way it should be done – the right way.
