Our disassembly Department
All of our disassembly, machining, and processes are all completed in our Virginia Beach manufacturing plant.
After all, disassembly is complete, we then heat treat all components in our large block and head oven.
Various components are "Red Tagged" for scrap metal disposal. We have strict QC standards that start in the Disassembly department. We replace, rather than repair component parts that don't meet our standards.

Wash and rust inhibitor department
We have industrial, 45-foot-long pass through wash plants. Blackwater Engines utilizes aqueous-based parts washers, water-based cleaning agents, and rust inhibitors. These are used to ensure high levels of cleanliness and environmental preservation.
All components are thoroughly washed in our pass-through wash plant.
