Nice example of how you need each other's expertise in the Automotive industry. At Wilmink we regularly are in contact with the overhaul specialists of the Dutch company called 'Helmondse Motoren Revisie'. A family business that has grown by deliberately focusing on just one expertise: overhauling combustion engines with extreme precision. This way, these engines get a second chance. You could call it ‘health care for engines’. In Helmond, they are loyal customers of Wilmink Engine Parts. You can't have every part of every engine in stock and that’s where Wilmink comes in. Let’s take a look.

'OK' is not good enough. It has to be perfect!

Bouke Bosgraaf, product specialist and purchaser at Wilmink, is impressed with the approach at Helmondse Motoren Revisie. "Only one thing counts: every engine for overhaul doesn't leave the building until it's perfect. That's what their customers count on."

It’s a profession

A complete, successful overhaul is a great deal. An internal combustion engine already has worked half of its life. First, they start with the critical assessment of the current state, and then a series of techniques to achieve an optimal result. For example, when overhauling a cylinder head, how do you get it ready to work trouble-free? A matter of levelling, ultrasonic cleaning, replacing the guides, milling or replacing valve seats, milling valves, testing and more. Patiently and precisely, even when there is a hurry. Because everything has to be perfect.

By the way, for customers who benefit from speed, Helmondse Motoren Revisie has an extra service: choose from the large stock of reconditioned engines, ready for use. The runners-up at Helmond's are currently the Ford Ecoboost and VW Transporter engines. They also offer their own line of good, reconditioned engines for the VW T6 Crafter.

To completely overhaul an engine block, they have all the necessary equipment in-house, including computer-controlled CNC drilling, CNC honing (a form of grinding), CNC leveling and line honing.

Always get the job done

"The Dutch companies that can overhaul engines at this level are very rare," said Ted, owner of Helmondse Motoren Revisie BV. The company has contacts all over Europe. Even further from home, like in Madagascar and the Antilles. What they are very strict on: The choice of only A brands with OE quality, such as Kolbenschmidt, Victor Reinz, Glyco and Elring. An alternative that hasn’t proven itself is no option. It would be a waste if that one part turns out to be the reason for failure. At the Helmonde Motoren Revisie you can rely on an overhauled engine. Reliable through and through, that is the principle in Helmond!
