Rapid Welding Service.
During winter, private motorists and commercial vehicle users are warned of the damage to engines which can be caused by frost. Notwithstanding such. seasonable advice there is always a heavy influx of cylinder blocks and other parts for repair immediately following a period of really cold weather. It is not so generally realised that hot weather can have equally unfortunate results upon petrol and oil engines. During the winter months the most common repair is the welding of cylinder jackets, fractured by frost. In summer the preponderance of welding repairs deal with cracks which develop mainly in the vicin
